Account disabled today - but I re-activated it?

    Hi. I've been using Adsense for a very long time. Today when I tried to login, I couldn't, I came to a page where it said my account was inactivated, without a reason. That is NOT my point in this thread so don't bother answering "you should follow ToS" or something like that.

    My point is that I could activate my account again just by filling in my cellphone number and send a verification code to it, then it was activated within just a second again. Another strange thing, they didn't send me any mail about inactivation.

    I'm not sure whether my whole Google account or just my Adsense account were banned, but I guess that goes hand-in-hand anyway.

    What is this? I have put enormous efforts in following the Adsense ToS.
    And why do they let me re-activate it by proving I own a cellphone?
    Should I take this as a "warning" from them?

    I did email them, no response yet, but I'll sure share whatever they have to say.

    I had to go through the same process with my gmail account. One fine day when I login it says it is temporarily disabled and asked me to provide my mobile number. They sent me an activation code and my account was returned to normal status as soon as I entered the code. Not sure what Google is up to!

    i think its with your gmail/google account because they are now asking mobile verification to create google accounts too.

    have u sent any big email lists in gmail ?

    I haven't found google re-activating banned accounts. My two accounts were banned in the past and now i have almost gave-up. However google is petty lovely if your traffic has good traffic and content. If you are sometimes trying to cheat google then surely you will get banned.

    Same happened to me too. my google account is very old. And they had to verify my mobile #.
    Its not that they disabled the account its just they stoped there service until i did the formality for them.

    You didn't even read my first post. Or maybe you did, but your English is so poor you didn't get my point.
    Read again, especially "That is NOT my point in this thread so don't bother answering "you should follow ToS" or something like that."

    I have not read carefully your article, I retrospect the familiar screen: Your account has been disabled with email from adsense team : Your account has been disabled

    Which means you're a spammer who are just looking for higher post count.

    I cant relate to this. I can add that I noticed some of my ads were deactivated but when I started using them again they became active. Imagine that.

    I got a mail from them today. They basically said they are sorry for any inconvenience, that's it.
