Great summary!
I was once, too, temporarily suspended for unknown reasons, and for an unspecified period of time. But I was definitely told not to do “it” again, or else! lol
I couldn’t find in the terms of service what I had violated, and to this day have no idea what happened.
Thanks for sharing these tips. They [...]
