Tread On Me, StumbleUpon Drops me Like A Hot Potato~

Stumbling on Happiness

Image via Wikipedia

I woke up this morning in a happy mood, ready to face the world and all it had to throw at me. I was slapped back to reality when I clicked on the little red 5 in my stumbleupon toolbar and read with interest a site that some one wanted me to read as with stumble upon all my interests are exposed like an open book.

The slap happened when I hit the thumbs up and was going to leave a review of what I just read. Whamo…. Wrong Password! Huh? Wrong Password? How can it be a wrong password?  I quickly type in my user name there it was.. THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED!

I guess in the 2+ years I have been a member of stumbleupon, even sending in the $20 support I did some thing that was so bad, so unspeakable that my account had been suspended.

So to all my friends, and I had true friends, great people with great taste, I sadly have to inform you all that I am no longer welcome at stumbleupon, but please don’t stop sending me your well written blog posts, funny and interesting pictures and videos and what ever else you think I may be interested in, because I am still interested in them!

  1. How does one get slapped in SU? Did you submit your own posts?

  2. I have read the terms and I could not find where it explains that submitting your own content is forbidden. I am not sure why Fool has been put in the dog house, but I think SU needs to provide details.

  3. I have not stumbled my own post that I can recall, (sounds like I am on trial). I don’t know I can not get a reason, just the form mail type thing about promotion of a site or service and the link to by advertising. All I can come up with is they don’t like a stumbler soliciting stumbles with the stumble upon tool bar? Just guessing, open to suggestions!

  4. Thanks for your reply.

    Members may submit links from personal or business sites to StumbleUpon, but when we receive complaints from other members — or when our software detects an abuse of our system — we suspend access to the accounts in question pending further review. We take this step to preserve the quality of content in our database. When members repeatedly submit content they created, it goes against StumbleUpon’s mission of discovering and sharing Web sites with others.

    If we determine that a member account has been used for unauthorized promotional reasons, we generally do not restore access to the account. If access is restored to your account, we’ll notify you via email at this address. All participants in our Sponsor program agree to abide by our Terms of Service, so we do not provide refunds to accounts that violate these guidelines.

    If you have any additional questions, please review our Terms of Service and Community Rules:
