My personal account was suspended when I tried post a question on Microsoft Learn.
I did not violate any terms of service. Nothing even close. I was just trying to post a question.
Microsoft please understand that developers need this resource and arbitrarily suspending a developer's account is a hardship.
Also, when you suspend someones account, you need to give them a reason why their account was suspended. In my case, I did not violate any terms of service. I have no idea why my account was suspended.
You also need to provide a resource for the developer to dispute the suspension. I raised two tickets in Azure portal and in both cases the support technician is unable to find a way to restore my account.
I have had to resort to using another account to log in again to raise this ticket.
Thanks,
Sam
And to add insult to injury, the spam filter found it a good idea to auto-delete the above post too. I have restored it now.
To resurrect the suspended account, we would know what the name of it is. (I don't think I have the powers to unsuspended it myself, but hopefully someone else can resurrected it - if they know the name of it.)
@Erland Sommarskog Sorry, but my account has not been reinstated, even though I received an email that it was. I closed the browser, deleted history and cookies. Please send me an email.
Thanks
Sam
Hm, it was TP that was able to revive your account, or at least he thought he did. I don't even know how to do it. And sending you a mail without knowing your address is difficult.
Hi Sam,
Your original account has been unsuspended. Please sign out of that account/sign back in to Q & A in order for the change to take effect. I edited your last question to remove links in case the spam filter objects to them:
Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.
Thanks.

Guys I really appreciate you restoring my account. I'm still stuck on the problem I tried to post about and I really need to get an answer.
What did I do to cause my account to be suspended?
And why did the spam filter delete my posts?
I need this resource and I don't want my account to be suspended again.
It would be very helpful to tell the user why their post is removed or why their account is suspended so they can avoid unintentionally violating a rule.
Thanks,
Sam
Sam - you didn't do anything wrong that I can see. The spam filter can be too sensitive.Why it deleted your posts is unknown. I've noticed it can be more likely to delete a question with links, code blocks, and nice detailed explanation similar to your question, however, it also sometimes deletes relatively basic posts too.
