  Hi danielteolijr

  When User violates the term of service that is mentioned by WordPress.com then the account under the user is suspended.

  To know more about the suspended blogs please refer the support document:

  To know about the terms of services that WordPress mention please refer to the support document below:

  Hi there,

  You can find our terms of service here:

  https://wordpress.com/tos/

  And you can find our user guidelines here:

  User Guidelines

  Violation of those terms may lead to a site being suspended, but the decision in all cases rests with our terms of service team. We do not discuss the reasons why a particular site was suspended in the support forums and I cannot provide you with a list of stuff that could get your site suspended, as that is decided on a case by case basis if and when a site is reported to us for violating our terms.
