Undeleted, Unbanned, New Account Generated:

So I’m back and oddly I don’t why. For proof

Okay so I didn’t request my stuff to be deleted nor did I ever expect to come back. I randomly pressed google and got this new clean account go figure.

I remember seeing tons of my answers being deleted yesterday wondering why there were being mass-deleted even though it was banned.

Deleted (not by the user):

My account has now been completely deleted. I don’t know why, and I don’t know how. All I know is that starting 2:04 pm 5/25/2017 (a few hours before my edit-block was supposed to be lifted), a mass deletion of my profile’s contents began. I couldn’t log in because my email wasn’t associated with my Quora profile anymore, apparently.

This morning, I could only watch as 2 years of my writing was being deleted in massive chunks. What’s more, I hadn’t received any emails from Quora notifying me of any changes to my Quora account. I’m not banned. Something isn’t right here.

I sent multiple emails to multiple Quora support emails. I sent Facebook messages to Tatiana Estévez and Jay Wacker as a last resort. I told my friends to contact anyone working at Quora. I searched all morning for a customer support number I could call.

No replies.

I don’t think I was hacked; the sheer speed at which my contents were being deleted is inhuman. This is the work of a bot. One of your bots have gone haywire. One of your bugs have crossed the line. Or, one of your employees is holding a grudge against me and locking me out of my profile/deleting my contents without notifying me.

I’m desperately pleading right now for someone to tell me what the fuck is going on. I’m already quite tempted to storm into Quora HQ and give a nice long lecture to the receptionist (whoever they may be).

Note: I have notified account services at Quora on Alexander’s behalf, at Jay Wacker’s suggestion.

Edit-Blocked:

  • Eric Wang
    • Statement (forwarded through PM):

I was edit-blocked today, after my fourth BNBR violation. Two of them I feel I deserve, but two (including the most recent one that got me blocked) I think I could appeal. I tried appealing one but got no response. I will try to appeal the other. Just in case you’re wondering where I’ve gone.
