Google Accounts Disabled for some?

gmail disabled

Google Blogoscoped reported that they are already receiving feedbacks from some GMail users that their accounts are suddenly suspended/disabled. Reason that causes such action - unknown.

Here’s the error message received by GMail user John Welch:

Sorry, your account has been disabled. For more information about Google Accounts, please consult our Help Center at http://www.google.com/support/accounts/.

According to John Welch in Blogoscoped comments, his account is somehow partially disabled.

What is odd about the situation is that, one of my computers has a cookie so that my Google Personalized homepage is still running on one of my computers and I can click through the multiple tabs, but when I try to log in to check my email it gives me that error again.

I asked other people I know that use Google Accounts and so far one of them said their account also was disabled.

Google has yet to give an explanation on that.

Updates:

Seems like more and more are getting this problem. Over at GMail Help Discussion, there’s like 151 pages of user postings (for the moment) and majority were complaining about their account being disabled.

This is crazy. Normally I will use gmail IMAP instead of POP3(download) into my Thunderbird. Basically lost everything :(

My Google account was involuntarily discontinued when I complained and asked for an explanation as to why the rankfly - Bob Dylan videos had been discontinued. When I received no reply from Google I removed all of my subscriptions because I really watched mostly for rankfly Dylan videos and a few other old jazz videos that were priceless. Obviously, Google could care less. I hope another site can pick this up or explain what has happened! According to Google the reason for removing videos is exploitation of the artist but no proof was given. Did Dylan or his people do this? If so, why?

I haven’t noticed any problems with my accounts.
