Google+ Account Suspended? You Won't Find Out Why

Posted by Soulskill on from the it's-a-mystery dept.

jfruh writes "Dan Tynan is a tech writer and blogger who discovered, while trying to post links to his writing on his Google+ profile, that his account had been suspended. This despite the fact that he used his real name and didn't violate the terms of service in any other way. Upon appeal his account was reinstated, just as mysteriously as it was shut down, but along the way he discovered a rash of people with suspended Google+ accounts who can't figure out what they did to anger the Google gods."

    Preemptively delete your G+ account. I'd like to see them suspend it then. While I can't speak for everyone, it's certainly worked for me. I've never had my deleted G+ account suspended, nor have I faced the uncertainty of determining why an account has been suspended.

    Honest question. How many of those banned users are fabricated by the facebook anti google pr machine?

    Since you're AC, we're assuming that you were banned by /. Are YOU fabricated?

    All your assumption proves is that you are an idiot.
