You really need to change your warning messages
-
I made an account (ignamiranda) with my student email and made a wordpress blog (ignaciowrites.wordpress.com). I realized that I had made an account years ago on ny main email and I could access it so I deleted my new site and account to create my website on my original account.
Since then I’ve realized that you have a zero exceptions no URL recycling policy. Every reply to someone with this problem is basically ‘We told you deleting a blog was permanent.’ And yeah. You did. You didn’t tell us the URL would be permanently occupied. A blog and its url are not one in the same.
Having owned a URL before, I know that I could have deleted my website permanently and let the URL expire and someone could use that same URL for their own site. None of this is contradicted by this site’s warning message.
Why is this policy this way? Why is it not made clear to users upfront?

ignaciowrites.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this site.Is that the correct site address you want? How long ago did you delete that site? If it was less than 30 days ago staff can recover it. If that is the case add the word modlook to the tag box here on the far right and a member of staff will assist you.

You should have an email from us re: the account deletion. Write back to that email and say that it was a mistake. Let me know if you don’t have the email yet.

I’ve had a closer look at the account and can see that you received help with this about 10 hours ago. Closing thread.
