My Blog site was closed down

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello I was just shut down by WordPress and I think I know why; although I didn’t realize I was violating anything. I joined this new service that allows me to place relevant articles relating to my business automatically to me site; is this a violation to my WordPress Blog site?

    It’s the only think I’ve changed recently so I guess that’s go to be it; sorry about that but again I didn’t realize that was a problem and won’t do it again. Is there anyway you can reactivate my site please.

    Thanks,

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    This is something you need to discuss with staff. There should be a notice and a link in your dashboard that you can use. Support has gone “walk-about” till the 16th, but they are monitoring things and should respond to you.
