Forums / User Account Locked. No help from WP Support for 5 days!!

User Account Locked. No help from WP Support for 5 days!!

    I can see my two blogs (7million7years.com and 7m7y.com) but I cannot log into the admin. panel to add posts or approve comments. I receive the error message “Error: account Suspended”, which I am told is usually a Terms of service ‘violation’.

    I have sent 3 requests to WP support (two via the WP support contact form and 1 via e-mail to support@wordpress.com) and have received NO response.

    WP have effectively killed my blog – nearly 18 months of hard work for ZERO income (I don’t advertise or promote any products / services), with absolutely NO explanation, NO right of reply … NOTHING.

    This is not good business practice as the chances are that the issue is simply an error or oversight on my part or theirs …

    I have had an issue once before: I provided a link to an internet marketing product, but ONLY to expose the scam. Obviously, nobody from WP read the post … again, I did not receive ANY notification, but assumed the link was the issue, removed them and voila, all OK … until NOW. Again, no contact from WP before / during / after the issue …

    What have I inadvertently done wrong in the interests of educating my readers??? And, why am I not given the courtesy of a response?

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

    Nothing has changed since the last time you posted about this, several days ago, and were informed that posting in the forums does not get the attention of staff; the forums are the province of the volunteers.

    There is nothing whatsoever that we can do for you.

    It is not an oversight.

    You read the Terms of Service and then you created 4 blogs about bow to make a million, make money online etc.

    How to Make 7 Million in 7 Years™

    How I made 7 Million in 7 Years™ … the ‘good old fashioned way’ … and how you can, too!

    —

    Subscribe to 7 Millionaires … In Training! by Email

    and similar. We do not allow this. And if you think there are other blogs please let us know – they too will be suspended.
    If you want to blog about making money you need another host.

    Thanks Mark … finally I understand … and apologize for any misunderstanding!

    How do I (a) gain access to my domain names (7million7years.com and 7m7y.com) so that I can redirect them to other hosts, and (b) export the XML of my posts so that I can import them elsewhere?

    BTW: I don’t believe that I have broken any TOS that you mention:

    Despite the get-rich-quick-SOUNDING titles, I DON’T provide specific methods to make /earn money … I am a respected personal finance author, like Ramit Sethi (I will teach you to be rich) and JD Roth (get rich slowly).

    These are legitimate blogs with hundreds of daily readers and citations in US News ( http://www.usnews.com/articles/business/your-money/2009/04/14/10-secrets-of-millionaires-money-management.html ) and overseas papers as far away as Belgium ( http://monargent.lecho.be/actu/riche_et_celebre/7_caracteristiques_de_millionnaires.8185725-1781.art ).

    I accept NO advertising on the blog, no link exchanges, promote no products or services, etc., etc.

    … but, I can respect your position, but need to be able to exit gracefully. A simple response from support – as you have provided here – would have been a great place to start :)

    Promising to teach people to become millionaires seven times over in seven years and then NOT doing it (as you claim) might even be worse than if you DID try to do it.

    Well WP unlocked my account … again, no explanation.

    It’s happened twice now: locked/unlocked … no reason given either time. Good luck with your hockey tickets: I own the team! ;)

    And because of time I have not got back to you.

    ALL the unacceptable stuff has to go. It’s not suddenly okay. I will follow up tomorrow.
    Thanks for bumping the threads – I won’t forget now :)

    To the OP – publishing an ‘infomercial’ as soon as you get the blog back was not the wisest move.
    But if you’ve come back here you know that already..

    Seven million in seven years? That’s chicken-feed! If you buy one of my Veg-O-Matics, you’ll probably make 10 million in 10 days, and lose 10 pounds too. I only I could advertise …

    I can read minds.
    Resize your photo’s to 450 pixels wide. That should do it.
