Not telling you what you did wrong is wrong. If your kid is watching TV and you walk up and smack em, hard, and they start screaming, Whad'd I do?! Whad'd I do?! and you won't tell them, you're an idiot.

You must identify the wrong action if you want to illustrate that it's wrong in order to teach them.

I agree with you Ryan. I've got two toddlers running around at home, so I like the comparison!

I'll send them another email. Let’s see if they'll tell me if I keep bugging them long enough.

Please do keep us updated.

Last weekend I got an email from someone I follow on here saying his account had been shut down.

I was shocked to hear it. His posts were always positive and kind. At least the ones I saw.

So between that and what happened to you, I'm a bit concerned about hanging my shingle here.

Jeez, I hope his account gets restored soon too. It's good that he can still connect with his subscribers for now.

I'll let you know if there are any updates!

I don't know if I'll like your content or not, but I do have some level of respect for someone who puts as much brute force effort into something as you are. That requires some kind of fire in your belly.

Take care to tend it, and not over extend, or else it might go out. Better a warm fire that lasts, than one that burns bright and out before it can shed its light very far into the world.

oh wow! they suspend here on substack too? I didn't even think that was a thing. So sorry about that. But it's restored now right?

Me neither! Thanks for your support Tobi. It’s restored but I have no idea why I got suspended in the first place.

How did you find out about it? Did you get an error?

I kind of understand why they wouldn't share specifics—they don't want people to skirt the rules. At the same time if someone's not breaking rules it shouldn't be a problem. I have dug into Substack's terms too much so I couldn't give you any insight.

Sucks and I hope you get it sorted soon, feel free to share the updates, I'm quite interested!

Here’s the message I got from them:

‘You can’t view notes at this time.

We’ve limited your ability to view notes due to a potential violation of Substack’s Content Guidelines. If you believe this is a mistake, you can submit an appeal to our Trust & Safety team.’

My account is restored but I still don’t know why it got suspended. I guess you’re theory about why they don’t share the reason does make sense… thanks for your support!

Holy dooly they wouldn't even let you VIEW Notes, you were a bad girl. But it was all a misunderstanding right?

If you ever get insight or feedback on what happened please let us know. Maybe I need to review their guidelines because I am shocked to see this happening.

Those of us who've been through it at "the other place" are a little twitchy these days :D
