Attention Squidoo Lensmasters!

Recently, my high ranking Squidoo lenses and account got terminated for violating Squidoo’s Terms of Service.

It says here:

11. SQUIDOO CAN TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE

Oooo, scary. But true. Squidoo, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account or use of or access to the Service (including CO-OP Services), and remove and discard any Lens, for any reason. Some of the more likely reasons for termination are inaccurate information in the registration form, harassment of other Lensmasters (this is a BIG no no), Citizen Squids, SquidooStaff, bloggers and other individuals online. More reasons include hacking Lenses or the Service, automatically redirecting lens traffic to another site, spamming people on and off the site, illegal transactions via Squidoo, and otherwise acting in violation of the terms or the spirit of these Terms of Service or other policies making a Lensmaster a fine, upstanding member of the Squidoo community. If Squidoo terminates your use of the Service, then your Lens may be immediately taken down, and your Squidoo Earnings Account may be closed (and donated to charity). In this event, Squidoo will not be responsible to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service. (So, if you sell your lens, make sure the buyer knows this stuff).

Obviously, I was over Squidooing, Squidwhoing and Squidvidding….. I had spent so many hours on my niche lenses, getting a lot of attention but Squidoo just terminate it. I emailed them to ask for it back, but they said I was in violation and they said I can open a new account but they couldn’t give me back any of my lenses (even the ones which was not in violation).

Well, sad and lesson learned… so be careful of what you write, what you put and how you use your Squidoo lens…………
