Flickr Banned My Account and All Photos Gone !
Flickr banned my account with the similar reason as “Why Facebook banned my account previously“ and this time i’m not so lucky like the facebook case because flickr do not have appeal system, when your account deleted, all your photos gone and no further appeal shall be entertain.
According to flickr term of service, If they find you selling products, services, or yourself through your photo stream (example One, Two & Three) , flickr staff will terminate your account without notice and all your priceless photos will disappeared.
Feel pretty sad that flickr do not take users content (photos & video) seriously, they should allowed user to backup their files before terminate the account or at least friendly enough to removed unacceptable content. Lucky, all my previous flickr account photos that embed on my blog post still remain (not sure till when they will removed).
My Two Cents
DO NOT EVER host all your wonderful photos, video or content at external website without backup. For bloggers, DO NOT upload your photos to free services and embed on your blog, for the sake of saving bandwith, that wasn’t a long term way for blogging & you might make your blog look awful one day!
I do moblog with convenience of flickr for the pass 2 years and now i get myself a new flickr account again, my dear friends and readers, please remark my new flickr url ;
