Subject: This site has been disabled for violations of our Terms of Service?
I have been moving my website contents from my Google Page Creator
website at

http://gpsgfaq.googlepages.com/

to my Google Sites website at

http://sites.google.com/site/tomihasa/

and now when I try to visit my new Google Sites website, I see this
page:

"This site has been disabled for violations of our Terms of Service.
If you feel this disabling was in error, please visit our contact page
to let us know. Contact Us"
http://sites.google.com/site/sites/system/errors/SiteDisabled

I see three possibilities: 1) I have added too many pages at once, 2)
I have the same content on both websites, 3) I shouldn't have used
JavaScript redirect to tell search engines where my documents are now.
My pages have always contained legal and correct content as far as I
can tell, so please Google fix this!

Hi Tomi Häsä,

We've re-enabled your site. We want to encourage everyone to use the
form located here: http://www.google.com/support/sites/bin/request.py?contact_type=disabled
for reporting sites that have been disabled. We have a much easier
time and quicker response time processing requests that come in
through that form, as opposed to requests that come in through the
Help Group.

For an explanation of why your site was disabled, please go to the
following post: http://groups.google.com/group/google-sites-announcements/browse_thre...

I thought my site was banned and not disabled, so I didn't think the
"Disabled Sites" discussion meant my site also as I started moving my
content after the discussion started, so seems like Google Sites is
still banning new Google Sites websites, so the automatic disabling
process hasn't been turned off yet or something.

Hello Mike,

I think the problem is big issue in the Google Site system and must
prevent lots of users to adopt it.

I'm telling you about the problem I encounted. I ever created my site
http://sites.google.com/site/mhdfamily and made it public. However,
after I added some pages, one of my friends told me that she could not
access, with the Disabled message. I tried and failed also. I then
loginin as the site owner and succeed.

But what happend belowed confues me and sounds absoultely TERRIBLE!

I then deleted all my contents in the site and keep the site EMPTY.
however, the same problem happened again and the site is still
Disabled for all viewers without login.

Terrilble! we didn't have opportunity to fix our problem even though
we delete everything!

Need your help! Thx!

I have a similar error message for my site just opened and made
public.

http://sites.google.com/site/kalyan97

I think it is not nice for google to tell the public that the site is
disabled for violation of terms of service without first checking with
the creator/owner of the site.

Hi weather,

The URL you've provided doesn't appear to be the correct one. Please
reply with the correct URL and we'll be more than happy to look into
your complaint.

Also, please be sure to use the form for reporting disabled sites,
rather than reporting it through her. You can see the following post
for more info. http://groups.google.com/group/google-sites-announcements/browse_thre...

I have the same issue at my new site www.stinsonddog.com, and the
method of disabling without a reason is terrible.  I started setting
up a Microsoft Live Office today in case Google doesn't respond
quickly.  I can't have this happen everytime I edit it.

Google reserves the right to disable any web site on Google Sites as
they deem it, you remember hitting the 'I Agree' button, right?  Mike
has posted the URL to a possible reason why some sites were
temporarily and mistakenly disabled twice now, Google is still in the
working stages trying to get all of the kinks out.

If your site is still disabled, please submit the correct URL to
Google Sites Administrators and they will get to you as quickly as
possible.

It's a bit confusing as to where to contact the Site Administrators
after a "disabled for violations" message. This is a link I found but
it seemed to be link from a message back in August so I'm not sure if
it's still the correct one: http://www.google.com/support/sites/bin/request.py?contact_type=disabled

I used that link for my site http://sites.google.com/site/donbrowne
but have not heard anything after 24 hours.

I also noted that you are supposed to click the "contact us" link to
report this, but I could not find such a link but think it may be on
the "sitemap" page of your google sites. I think I saw it once but it
has since not appeared again. Very confusing. I wish someone could
explain this topic better and perhaps Google could find a less
disturbing to users solutions for this TOS violation warning.

KQ4YM -

When I click on the link you provided in your post (http://
sites.google.com/site/donbrowne ),  I get the following error.

Site Disabled
This site has been disabled for violations of our Terms of Service. If
you feel this disabling was in error, please visit our contact page to
let us know. CONTACT US.

I'm assuming this is the same message you (and others) see when you
try to view your site.  You will notice that the tail end of that
message contains a "contact us" link that points to the same URL you
provided above:  http://www.google.com/support/sites/bin/request.py?contact_type=disabled

I have no idea as to the SLA for getting back to you on a "disabled
for violation of Terms of Service", so I can't tell you when to expect
a reply.  If the site was disabled in error, though, it's a shame that
it is taking Google so long to get back with you.

Good luck.

The site owner can't see the "contact us" link on the site page where
the "disabled" because of violations of terms of service site notice
is, but anyone else can. I'm guessing you have to not be logged in to
get to that page to see the link to contact Google. So, that's one of
the disturbing problems a site owner encounters with the message..no
clear place to contact.

The most disturbing problem, however, is that I don't think there's
any violation that I've made but it's now been about 30 hours since I
sent a message to the administrators and still no answer yet and no
one can get to my 90+ pages on the website!

That's interesting.  I wonder why they wouldn't display the "contact
us" link if you are logged in.  I would think the last person they
would like to hide this information from is the site owner!
