I heard that getting that message means your account is permanently deactivated. Is that true?

@Hahn Smith,

Maybe, maybe not.  Such matters are handled on a case-by-case basis.  Contact Contributor support for details.

No, but accounts get deactivated for a reason!

HELP, what is going on with my account ?   I can't get into the prgrams I am paying for every month and I will see about having that payment stopped if something isn't done even though I don't want to since I want to use the programs. You charge me every month like clock work and now I can't even get into any of the programs.

I just sent a message and forgot to put my name on it and here it is Janet Barton.

I just got the same message today. Did you ever find out why yours got blocked? My email has no details at all.

Do not spam the forum. Spamming is always unwelcome and can lead to banning. 

[Hahn Smith]

Spamming the question forum or the uploading/submitting files section of Adobe?

[Test Screen Name · Accepted solution]

Everywhere/both. Adobe have said that sending multiple copies of the same picture with minimal changes will lead to blocking. But we're just users here. Multiple similar posts in the forums may get reported as spam, and Adobe staff may block the posts. 

If you've been blocked as a contributor, which is distressing, you should have been given an email address to contact: that is the only thing you can do.

Ah, that's probably what happened. I uploaded photos from a trip to Idaho. Probably 600-700, and a lot looked pretty similar. And they were bracketed. I wondered if there would be a market for HDR photos. I guess not ha ha. Many of my best sellers have been photos that are far from my best. I figured I try some new things to see if it would boost my account. Lesson learned! Won't be doing that again.
