Kicked off Flickr
Yesterday afternoon was looking at the Newcastle group on Flickr clicked on the link to the Australian Photographers group and it came up a sign in page. Signed in and it asked me to select a name. Went back to the newcastle group and all the topics I has started had [deleted] next to my name.
Could be one of two things (Flickr doesn’t answer emails in regards to this type of thing their decision is final.)
I got banned from one of the post one comment 5 groups for only commenting on 4. I emailed an admin and he informed me they don’t like people that can’t follow simple rules so I told him what I thought of power trippers.
The one I really think it was for was I had one of those Red bubble Buy my shot things on my Flickr profile. I think it was around 10 pictures linking straight to RB checkout. After looking around the Flickr help forum seems they don’t like 3rd party commercial posts and delete these members.
Seems groups with links to other commercial sites have been deleted and Gear For Sale threads removed.
What annoys me is Flickr didn’t even contact me to explain why they were deleting me or putting my side of the story forward. With a click of a button they can delete 900 photos and 370 contacts.
6 months into my ‘pro’ subscription for the year. Wonder if they will give me a refund.
I have signed back up to keep in touch with friends but I won’t be giving them any money.
They proved what they think of their ‘customers’ during the video debate saying “Video is here to stay, if you don’t like it leave”
It’s all about the money YAHOO, make the bottom line look got for IF Microsoft want another takeover attempt

Thats sucks.. I went thru a simular exp on another site. (with eyes..) I was accused of soemthing that was sooo far from the facts as they actually accoured…. It was a simple misunderstanding (on thier end too) but still they said “Go” to me “We don’t not change our minds once it is done it is done”.. Pics were gone and then so was I…. I was stunned actually.. I thought.. Wow… That was unprofessional.. You are not the only site out there… Sure seems like an odd way to Thank or hold onto & grow your subscribers & word of mouth I thought.. Grrrr… to the unfair players & unfair keepers of the sites… But.. It did lead me here & I do like this site abit better plus here the possiblity of a sale.. Only way I can look at it really.. Sorry that happened to you.. :)
