Account Disabled

Posted by The *Angriest* Pharmacist as Work Sucks

Boy it’s been a sucky few days on the internet for TheAngriestPharmacist. Due to “invalid account activity,” my Google Adsense Ads have been disabled. What the hell does that mean? It means that someone has been continuously clicking my ads — over and over again — either trying to make me a few bucks or purposefully trying to get my account shut down. If the latter is the case, kudos. That’s a really good haze. But, it does suck as the Adsense revenue helped cover my hosting/website costs. I’ve sent in an appeal saying that I don’t know who did what (I have my suspicions), but I’m betting they don’t reverse too many decisions. There was one day in question where I saw my revenue jump considerably, but that was a while back. The account closure was a recent event — so they may or may not be related. Nonetheless, if they tell me what day they want logs from, I will send it. We’ll see. I may have to find another Ad-Content Provider…

I also saw my Paypal account suspended. This was expected by myself originally, but it went fine for almost two weeks. I started the account with a ficticious name. I expected that to be a no-no. Now they want my address, social security number, phone number, etc. Well, it’s unlikely that I’m going to provide this. I upgraded my account to a ‘business account’ — allowing use of a ficticious name. As for the other things, we’ll see what happens. Until then, my account functions for the purposes I want. I can receive money from my friends that decide to “Buy Me a Beer” (which is currently disabled until this shit is straight in case I lose that money!) I can send paypal funds to my bank account. I just cannot close my account or send/request money to other paypal users — meaning I can’t participate in Ebay with this account…which I never planned on anyway. So, I can do what I want — who cares about anything else?

I’m sure eventually they’ll just shut my account down. Until then, FUCK EM! I don’t see what the issue is. They have my address, phone number (hidden of course), and bank account. Why do they need a credit card, SSN, and all this other extraneous info? I just want to be able to accept donations from readers and put it in my bank account. You’d think it’d be easy. There must be some sort of game that people have played in the past that screwed over paypal or other users…Well, I’m not screwing anybody…

What will happen NEXT?
