I recently received an email from Wattpad stating that they wrote:
"Unfortunately we had to close your Wattpad account for the following reason:
Banned - Explicit"
So, with no warning upfront or anything else, they simply removed my account, 44 books I had published and all my followers, Inbox, comments etc. Some customer service, eh?
A few days later, when I had cooled down a bit, I contacted them, claiming that I was going to play by their rules from now on, and the reply was "When we ban you, we ban you for life". Gosh, thanks...that made me feel SOO welcome
I spent 3 years building that account so I'm just really angry with them.
Bottom line, I think what triggered it, was the following (just so you might avoid the same fate):
1. I added the word "smut" in my titles (which worked really well for a while as it generated a lot of traffic and readers)
2. I sent thank you notes to everybody voting for my stories, reaching the daily max number of messages sent
3. They have a serious problem with site security, and constantly allow underage readers to access 18+ content despite being tagged as "Mature"
So, I guess I won't recommend joining that site ever again. Has anyone had similar experiences with this site?
