Parody Site Suspended for Images I Didn't Get the Chance to Remove
-
A parody website that I ran on WordPress – which featured extremely offensive content, but was not in violation of the User Guidelines – was suspended a few days ago. The site was an over-the-top, hyperbolic satire of misogynistic “pickup artist” sites like Return of Kings. At first, I thought the site was suspended for its themes, but, according to WordPress, it was suspended for “pornographic content” (this was the last time I got any kind of response from WordPress).
After the site was suspended, I found two emails from WordPress – in my email spam folder – which I had not seen before. These emails stated that I needed to remove certain images from the site, but that the site otherwise didn’t violate WordPress’s User Guidelines. One of the emails stated that, if the images weren’t removed, the site would be suspended. If I had seen these emails, I would have removed the images immediately. But these images were in my spam folder, so I did not see them until after the site was suspended.
However, since the site has now been suspended, I am unable to remove the images. Would it be possible for WordPress to restore the website so that I can delete whichever images WordPress would like me to delete? The only reason I didn’t delete these images in the first place was because I didn’t see the emails from WordPress – they were caught in my spam filter.
I have repeatedly attempted to contact WordPress about this, but they have stopped responding to me entirely.

How would you recommend I contact the Terms of Service Staff? I submitted my error reports many days ago.
