Ha! Ha! Thanks, Phil :-)
It just means there's a lot morre SM work to do 😱

Thanks, Mick. I initially gave up after the appeal failed.

Just hope this helps someone else if they are unfortunate enough to have the same problem.

Yep! Gave up after the appeal got rejected.

Hope it helps others

Pinterest seems so confusing!

Life is confusing :-)

Thanks, Steve. Not a good sitch but I hope the resolution can help anyone else in a similar position

Thanks, Bob.

Hope no one needs it but it's there if they do!

Hi Alex - ultimtely it's the platform that makes the decision, whether manually or automatically.

If someone complains about a post or an account, I think some platform's first move is to take it down rather that actually look at it.

Absolutely NO idea why my account was banned. It is absolutely 100% spam free.

So true Ian, I guess it is something that we can all face from time to time. I must admire your tenacity in sticking to it to get that ban lifted.

An example for us all.

Best wishes as you get back into it.

Thanks, Alex. It wasn't so much tenacity as believing that after losing the appeal there was no way back.

The big platforms make it very difficult to get a message to an actual person. You tried to find Amazon's Live Chat? Great when you get there :-)

Anyway, hope this helps anyone else in the same boat

Ian
