kcoopman wrote:Interesting story about flickr is I joined the site some time last year and I enjoyed seeing the casual photos posted by just folks who choose to share on line. I even was able to find a Triathlon that was held in my city that someone took photos and posted them. Sadly, one morning, mind you, before I could do anything other than view a few different posting, my account was deleted and I was banned, I guess for life. I made a exhaustive attempt to learn and possibly explain that they have me mistaken for someone else as I have not done anything, posted anything or subscribed; I only had the account for less than a month and had not decided if I wanted to purchase a membership.....Im glad I waited.
I followed up on the ban with several emails and each time I was met with profoundly rude, non helpful and misleading customer service. They explained they cannot disclose the specific reason for the ban but that I would not, EVER be allowed to use their site. I explained, but I never had the opportunity to "use their site" yet. Apparently, that doesn't matter as my rebuttal was ignored and I have not heard anything since.
On a lighter note, I wasn't all that impressed with the site anyway but its just the idea that I was accused of doing something I must have done in my sleep because of the life of me I can't figure out what I did. I continue to, at every chance, to tell me story and stear folks away from the site and being a photographer I come in contact with a lot of individuals and most have either closed their account with them or chose a competitor. I did learn that Flickr and Smug Mug, are owned by the same company so being the criminal I am, by their deranged standards, Im banned from both.![]()
