I have been a paid pro account since the new opening of flickr.. Funny thing at the start of Flickr I was told I must transfer all my photos from my old Yahoo Photo account or they would be deleted.. No real specific details at that time and they where the ones that uploaded all my photos to their site... Then I received an e-mail that stated that I had to remove the photos that did not belong to me or be deleted.. I had thousands of photos and requested time to complete this as well as more specific instructions.. Never received anything back other than something about they could not review until completion of deleted photos. It took me years to compile the collection and they expected me to go through each photo in a few days. Well its all gone now! Funny I had paid my pro account (2) years in advance. Does that not count for somthing? A company just deletes all your work. What about a refund in my advance payment? A company can just keep your money? Could Flickr not suspend your use of your account until your back in compliance to their so call rules? When reviewing your account they have to see something that makes that determination of being in violation. Can they not just tell you what that specific photo, comment, etc is? I will not ever use flickr again, nor will I keep Yahoo as my home page! I'm done with them!

My photostream and my contacts were disappared without warning. I had only snapshots from a virtual game, secondlife. The photos were all about my creations (fashion accessories). No nudity or violence, only common common common photos. I don't understand really "why". And i was a pro account. I never had a discussion with a flickr members or joined the forum. Never.

Every so often they go through and delete any one that gives even the slights justification, and now there's room for new members with out buying more sever space. Other wise why wouldn't they engage in some kind of conversation with the user they want to delete especially in cases like this where ten photos out of hundreds weren't taken by the user. Especially when there is a strong possibility they have the rights to post it. I honestly believe that flickr dose this to help alleviate server demands. think about it.
