My blog was suspended by Wordpress! What can I do?

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by Susan Zhang, Jul 1, 2009.

    I wrote a short article several days ago. Today when I login in my blog, I found that my blog was suspened! It says my blog violated the terms of service. I opened my mail box and saw the unread mail from Wordpress. It says one of my article has too many pingbcks. Delete it or spam it. But I didn't see this letter yesterday.

    This blog is important to me.

    What can I do now? Thank you! Please help me!

    wordpress has a support forum. You should post on their support forum for help or email one of the support staff.

    Yesterday I have written several letters to Wordpress. My blog address can be opened now. But I still can't log in my account.

    Susan Zhang: I see why it was supended your using copyrighted images on your blog without the creators consent. That is a violation of US law in which wordpress is ran from and the terms of service of wordpress.

    It is clear that you have violated their terms of use. Talk to them, explain and ask them if you could start a similar blog before actually starting one. Thanks.

    OMG I never thought about that.
    I thought you would seldom encounter technical problems in Wordpress.
    I was once using Blogger but i am now using Wordpress cos of the errors I have encountered in Blogger...

    The pictures are open on the internet. Most of the pictures I used are my own.

    Your such a bad liar. You got the images from google image search and a few even have watermarks on them. Just because you find an image on the internet doesn't mean it isn't copyright. Plus, that image is not of Micheal Jackson. It is of an Micheal Jackson impersonator that is their main profile picture that they use to sell their services and I really doubt you got permission to use it.

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0262721/ - The information about E'Casanova (notice the E in the picture with the word casanvoa in it) or did you not even care to look to see whom your ripping off?

    Wordpress are very strict in the cases of copyright, they take everything too seriously... leave them and go with blogger, they will never do such thing even with copyrighted files. I am talking from experience :)

    Most of the times, its not wordpress that directly suspends your blog but the people force to do it when they see bloggers using images without permission, or copying content and when Wordpress is notified about this, they take no time in suspending the blog and account.

    Making a new blog is better when you have not written many posts in the blog and have just started out.

    Um, because using images you find online without permission is against the law. And Blogger would indeed "have such problems." If Google's good at anything, it's taking care of DMCA complaints quickly. If you violate copyright law, you deserve to be shut down.

    My Viddler account was deleted and all my videos removed and so was my channel. This was done without Viddler telling me and so I emailed them. They said my account was deleted because in my videos I supported Hezbollah,which they said is a terroist organisation. I only found out my account had been deleted 2 days ago on 1st July 2010,when I tried to log in but could not.And I looked for my channel on the web and it was nowhere to be found.They say you should host your blog on your own custom domain. Because then,nobody can take it away from you,but we can do this with our video channels. You Tube is more user friendly more flexable than most sites. With You Tube as long as you do not upload porn or copywrite material you are okay.But it is not always the same with some other video sites,I was reading yesterday about some one who had their account deletded from another video site. The reason? They had too many videos uploaded! Andrea Borman.

    It is not that simple. As I mentioned in my last post Viddler deleted my account and video channel because my videos supported Hezbollah. Which they obviously did not like.And other people on there have had their accounts deleted when they should not have been. I also told you in my last post one person had their account deleted on a different video channel for uploading too many videos.The whole point in hosting on a video sharing site is to host what you want,within reason. If the site will won't let you do anything,whats the point in going on there?As I mentioned in the last post you should always pick your video site carefully. Andrea.
