I was just editing one of my Medium posts for the weekend when suddenly a red message popped up on my computer screen.

Your account was found in violation of the Medium Rules. Learn more about the reasons for suspension

Medium actively removes low-quality, spammy, or inappropriate content from the platform. If your article is found to breach their guidelines, it risks being entirely removed.

I am writing this article to inform writers that didn't read the Medium guidelines yet, and also to provide comfort to anyone who might find themselves in the same situation as I did.

If you got your account suspended and are wondering if that has ever happened to someone else, this article might be helpful, I will show how things got solved, and that this can happen by mistake, so, stay still — If you didn't do anything wrong, you will recover your account in no time.
