Suspended blog
-
I got a message this morning after doing my typical monday post that my blog was suspended. I can’t figure out what I did wrong. I have one link to my own author’s website, but I don’t really promote it on my blog. I post four days a week. Mondays are MANdays and are just a few photos of cute guys. Wednesdays are just like about me, my family, funny stories. Thursdays I post about people who successfully raise money for charities and on Fridays I write a movie review. I can’t figure out what I did wrong or how it would violate any of their terms. I completely understand that they watch blogs and that’s a good thing, but shouldn’t they tell you what you possibly did wrong so you could fix it before they just shut your blog down?? I’ve worked so hard on it and am just developing a little following, I’m so disappointed. Does anyone know how quickly they reply to your messages on this???
Thanks!! JillThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Follow the link on the message your received about the suspension.
Staff won’t discuss issues of TOS violations, and we volunteers can not help you.Check your junk mail folder because sometime emails from WordPress accidentally go there…

I did. I also sent an email through the support page. I just haven’t heard back and don’t know how long it takes. If the staff won’t discuss an issue with you, how can it get resolved?

@1tess should have been
the staff will not discuss TOS violations IN THE FORUM
none of us in the forum can return your blog that can only be done by the TOS staff.
Mistakes are sometimes made so it is not the end of your blog unless you had 200 posts with links to buy stuff at your affiliate store – I have seen in the forum several people that had blogs returned after a suspension, in some cases they had some forbidden content or links and they removed them (I only know because a person choose to post in the forum what happened)
So you do need to work with the TOS people. I have put links below to the Terms Of Service documents if you want to review them.

I didn’t have any links in my blog. The only links I’ve ever had was a link on the side of my blog as a widget. And I also have a blog roll which has links you can click for a few of my friend’s blogs. They don’t sell anything on their blogs either.
I’ve reviewed all the types of blogs and the terms of service and still can’t figure out what I could have done wrong.
Hopefully they will contact me soon and I can get it reinstated. It’s just frustrating not being able to call someone and not know when they will get back to you. -
We Volunteers cannot help you and posting here is an exercise in futility. By policy these matters are not discussed on the forum. This is between you and Staff and sometimes mistakes are made. As you contacted Staff by using the “click here to contact us” link in the notice, the ToS department definitely received your request. Please be patient as they’ll be getting back to you as soon as they can.

I wasn’t asking for specifics, but you can understand a person’s frustrations and questions when something like this happens. I won’t bother posting about this again. As it really is no help.
Thanks for your time. -
I apologize for leaving out that crucial bit.

Since you have made the contacts via email, the only thing you can do is to wait.
