Hello wonderful people I hope this finds you well?

First of all, I Am Not Leaving.

The writing of posts on my site will continue and when I have time I will continue to read your posts as I truly learn a lot from some of them.

Unfortunately over the last couple of weeks, so many people have been banned from writing on here that I feel it is just not the same anymore and I don't wish to be a part of it.

I will still read the PMs and respond and I will still ask questions that way and on the help thread. The community here has given me lots of much-needed help and support and for that, I Thank you all.

Stay safe and well.

Lisa.

Interestingly enough, we are not required to post here. Many of us do, to stay in touch. Frankly, there is so much to do with the training and videos, where do we find the time, right?

I don't understand why some folks are choosing to delete all of their posts or like you, choosing not to write posts here anymore.

There is a fine line that gets crossed occasionally, and oddly enough, recent kicks to the curb have affected many people who rank under the 100 mark. Perhaps there is a reason for that...

I believe that the algorithm and / or methods for the spam patrol bots need an overhaul, I refuse to believe our writings are at fault....

People are jumping ship too quickly out if fear. The boat isn't sinking...its just a little choppy.

The only real penalty for having our writing suspended is there is no way to contact anyone to find out what happened and to remedy the situation.

Nothing in the TOS dicates any protocol about who to contact to get reinstated. We, as paying members, become persons non grata. Our only recourse is to log out and contact the main WA site via the contact form.

The unwritten rules need to be aired. The parameters for posting need adjusting.

I, for one, choose to post when I have something to say, and am not going to fear doing so.

Although, if I disappear, we will know why, won't we. THEN, there will be a problem.

Rudy

Rudy, this email address was given to me by Kyle to contact him if the problem happened again.

I already knew that address because I saw it on a member's post when they were write banned.

That was the first email I used when I realised what happened to me, but I'm still yet to receive a response

WA support is the fastest way of getting out or asking another member to ask Kyle to put a message on Kyle's profile

Here's the email: kyle@wealthyaffiliate.com
I really hope that this get resolves sooner than later

That email is given to all folks who sign up with wa. And yes, I sent him an email directly.

However, he's a busy guy, and he probably receives thousands of emails....

Thanks....

Anyone who is under a "write ban" cannot contact support, even if they have a problem with their website.

The best option is to use the contact form at https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/contact

That was what I meant. Sorry Marion

I know, I sent him 2, and I didn't get a response

Exactly.

That is an option sadly one which is typically ignored leaving the only recourse asking another member to intervene. That's what needs overhauling

I agree, Catherine.
That's is the only way to contact anyone. I logged out and used the main website contact form. It took 2-3 days before I heard back, where the answer was to contact site support, which is difficult to do when locked out.

There is no separate email to use.

What alarms me is the fear this has instilled in many people here.

I logged out and used the contact us from

Yes, that is what I had to do, as well. Hang in there!

that's the way the world at the moment, the whole world is in fear of the flu

Good to know, Marion, thanks. Noting this down if any of such ever happens to me

I agree Catherine.

Very true my friend :-)

Me to Linda :-)

I'm sure you will be fine Chris :-)

Will do Rudy :-)

I couldn't reach another member. Now I have some on Facebook and Pinterest just in case.

Me too I have emails Sad we have to resort to that

Let's hope you don't disappear, Rudy! Otherwise, we will have to come and find you!😳

Yeah, I won't disappear...but its nice to know there will be a search party...grin

Good morning Rudy,

I like your very wise words indeed, I am with you, big time.

Have a great day.

Roy

Thanks, Roy!

Do you know about the 21 WA Rules? These have been posted for a few years now. I link to them here.

Yeah, I'm familiar.

Of course! We look out for our own!😎

I have myself been banned a couple of times. So what Lisa? It's fine. We violate some rules. And they Ban you. It is a good system as it keeps us warned.
I think as a system, it has worked exceedingly well and we have no spam at all within WA. The complete credit goes to the banning system; trust me.
Do keep writing. We love to read your honest blogs ... really.
Regards,
Aps

Thank you very much for stopping by

I salute you thank you for encouraging Lisa.

Thank u Abie

You will be missed. It is a shame you won't be able to share your wisdom and experience with old and new WA community member. From what I had read most of the ban on writing were an accident or happened through helping someone, nothing intentional or mean for the most part. I am sure a fix will come soon and I hope you will rejoin this WA community again.

Please try to stay in touch with an occasional 'hello' or update on your s your milestones.

I will Rhonda, thanks for stopping by :-)

Well, this concerns me. I haven't been active the last couple of weeks so maybe I missed something. I have a problem with being a paying member and not being able to access the forums. Did this happen after they revamped the site?

I hope you don't wander far, Lisa.

Kerry

Lots of people have been write banned since the site changed.

Good morning Lisa,

I'm sorry to hear about what is happening, so far I have only heard of one person being banned recently. Although, I have heard of others in the past.

I think you ought to carry on writing, I don't think you should be fearful of being banned as there is no reason why you should receive a writing ban. In a previous post from Simone, Kyle and Carson said that they are looking into the issue. So at least something is being done.

Personally, I would just carry on regardless, although I would also be careful about spending too much time on Wealthy Affiliate. I appreciate that it's sometimes very difficult to get the balance right between working on our own website and being on WA. The most important job to do is to populate our website with content.

I do hope you change your mind.

Have a great day.

Roy

Very much appreciated thank you.
Kind regards
Lisa 🥳

It's a pleasure Lisa!

Have a great day.

Roy

Hi Lisa, one question why are you letting others dictate your direction and interaction with and in the community?

Over the years we as a community have gone through many growing pains this is one such situation.

Currently there are some wind up merchants making their presence felt.

There are two choices roll over or continue to do what you have done and are doing.

We are of like mind here in WA, the key is to continue, to support and nurture each other.

This is what makes WA what it is.

My pick is that you will stay and stay engaged.

Best wishes for 2021.

Alex
