    Nobody in the forum can help you. You need to email staff and ask them directly. If the blogs violated the Terms of Service you may be offered the opportunity to revise them to come into line with ToS, or you may not, but only staff can make that call.

    You probably won’t get any changes before Sunday, because its the weekend and staff will be off.

    thanks for your assistance…i see no reason why this has been done…none of the content is offensive or undesirable, alot of my thoughts and opinions on virtual world commerce are for everyone to see new concepts and directions…

    Did you read the Terms of Service?

    We cannot actively commercialize our blogs here. I’m taking a wild guess that’s where you tripped up.

    As far as I know, they’ve never censored someone for speech someone else didn’t approve of. That is NOT an issue at WordPress.com. Only violations of the Terms of Service are issues. Re-read them if you’re not sure.

    i am promoting an event on sunday in singapore, which is for bloggers and people selling online…something i thought would be an encouragement for internet users and bloggers…am not a mass marketer or anything like that…

    You cannot sell things via your blog, not even event tickets. If the event is free to attend, you might have a case. Make it in an email to the staff.

    i read them, i cant see how i this has happened, a company in singpore listed my buybuttonz blog on their email, so hits went thru the roof…not doubt this is what wordpress has reacted to…but i still cant see how this has voilated the T&C’s, am depressed !!!

  • Unknown's avatar

    the event is free…and also free for the bloggers to get exposure thru…

  • Unknown's avatar

    i can understand if someone is selling online but clearly i am trying to help the small blogging community in Singapore, as well as myself…sometimes in asia things are censored but my content is certainly not of that nature…are you aware WORDPRESS all blogs are banned in China !!!

  • Unknown's avatar

    i mean all blogs from wordpress are unavailable in China, blocked

    Look, what part of “Nobody in the forum can help you; you need to contact staff” are you having the problem understanding?

    My blog has been suspended

    “My blog has been suspended
    When you sign up for a blog here at wordpress.com, you are agreeing to comply with the Terms of Service (TOS). In fact, the page has a check box next to this:
    I have read and agree to the fascinating terms of service
    so there is no real excuse for not knowing what is and is not allowed.
    Blogs are suspended if they are found to be in breach of the TOS.
    We do not contact you first to ask that content be modified or removed.
    You cannot have that blog name back.
    You cannot have the blog content back.
    We take the TOS very seriously and act on every feedback we get to check out possible breaches.
    We want wordpress.com to be a pleasant and safe environment for all our users.”

    timethief…i cant see how i have breached the T&C’s but thanks for making me even more depressed

    If you want to mutter, start a new blog.

    @aplink
    As raincoaster has repeatedly told you we can do nothing for you here. Here is the ToS link http://wordpress.com/tos/ please read it all and most particularly the part with the purple background and then contact staff directly rather than posting here again.

  • Unknown's avatar

    so i am being told to shut up in a forum

  • Unknown's avatar

    You are being told to contact staff as forum volunteers cannot help you.

  • Unknown's avatar

    The technical help forums aren’t for personal expressions of emotion: that is what blogs are for. Technical forums are for solving technical problems. We have given you THE solution to your problems, “Contact staff”. The time you take to post here is time you take away from contacting staff or setting up a new blog. Also, you are wasting our time.
