Yahoo Closing My Account

    Pretty simple story here...

    -I put music notes in my ads just because I saw it somewhere and figured I'd try it out.

    -All the ads get approved, they're running for about 3 weeks.

    -Yahoo emails me and tells me it violates the T.O.S., and if I don't change it, they'll "suspend" my account.

    -I did a little bit at a time, got it finished in 4 days.

    -Called Yahoo, the lady tells me she can't say any more, management will email me.

    -Management emails me and tells me they're closing my account and banning my URL from Yahoo.



    Is this a bit stupid? They threatened to suspend my account. So I go and fix what was wrong, and they ban my URL, close the account, and threaten to sue me.

    That does seem extreme.

    Not sure if you're American or not, but do the American thing and threaten to sue them back for no reason :p Start a controversy with Yahoo and use to your advantage hehe.

    Yeah, bad idea... but still :p

    What does it mean to put music notes in your ad?

    What did you do that was so bad that they would close your account without any option for appeal and then threaten to sue you?

    Oh my god...i never though yahoo does that! why don't you talk to yahooPete here in the forum. he has been very helpful.

    I'm afraid the new CEO changed some of the rules in using yahoo panama. i hope they don't become like google. gwark.
