me also lost my account in the same way do someone got some help in this case.
January 24, 2004 at 11:26 pm #87118SashaaMember🙁 Exactly one month later ….. same thing happens.
My Yahoo ID is deactivated and One of my Yahoo Groups is deleted. Yahoo wont reply to my email and it sucks. I have emailed them again asking if I have violated the ToS, and if so, where. But I hold little hope of a reply. I wish I could get my hands on whoever is behind this.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr <
(One angry little Princess)January 6, 2005 at 2:25 pm #87124SashaaMemberIts been 12 months since my original yahoo accounts were deactivated.
As of early December 2004, Yahoo have released the deactivated ID’s and I have reclaimed mine. After re-registering my ID and activating the email, the Yahoo Groups that I had previously owned were back in my control, and those I belonged to were listed under ‘My Groups’. Some of my groups had been deleted though. The buddy list was naturally empty as it was like registering a new ID for messenger.
If you had your ID deativated around 12 months ago, try registering it now. You may get lucky like I did and get it back before someone else registers it.
Good luck.

All deactivated ID’s are recycled in this way, its nothing new. The only time an ID wouldn’t be recycled, is if the ID contained profanity, or offended people in some way.

We are aware that it is not something new to those of us who have been around for a while. There are many others who are not aware that Yahoo recycles used ID’s, and to them this is new.
As there were a lot of ID deactivations at the time I lost mine, it is timely to let those who posted in this thread know that the ID’s are now available.
It is very easy to think that everyone else knows these things, but it’s always something new to someone. So long as there are people willing to listen, its always good to inform.
Cheers.
January 6, 2005 at 9:32 pm #87111OreoMemberThank you VERY MUCH for keeping us informed of the situation Sashaa. I’m sure your information will be helpful to many people. Also, congrats on getting your ID’s back.

How can you confirm lots of ID’s are now available, compared to any other time of year on Yahoo?
Just because you managed to re-register an ID you lost, for breaking the Yahoo! terms of service, doesn’t mean other terms of service breakers will now be able to re-register.
Proof/ evidence is lacking here. Where are all the other people who have also got ID’s back, deactivated a year ago? You were just in luck, in my humble opinion.
January 7, 2005 at 5:37 pm #87133Roisin DubhMemberWhat is your problem n3td3v? I do not post much on this site but I am here enough to see you have some problems. Sashaa said here: “If you had your ID deativated around 12 months ago, try registering it now. You may get lucky like I did and get it back before someone else registers it.
Good luck.”
That you may get lucky. And then you, N3td3v, agreed with her here:
“All deactivated ID’s are recycled in this way, its nothing new. The only time an ID wouldn’t be recycled, is if the ID contained profanity, or offended people in some way”
So which is it?? I felt the need to respond to this but since I do not post here much, I guess you will attack me now like you did to poor Sashaa.

If you read what I say, its pretty clear i’m not attacking anyone, but probing further for clarity.
– Has anyone else re-registered a previously deactivated account recently? (which was previously owned by you before yahoo deactivated it)
– I believe sashaa was just lucky, and it won’t work for other terms of service breachers.
Where is the attack?

n3td3v,
Did I mention anywhere that lots of ID’s are now available? NO.
Did I suggest that there are more ID’s available now that at any other time of year ? NO
I didn’t manage to re-register an ID I ‘lost’, as you say. What happened is that I managed to re- register a number of ID’s of mine that were deactivated about 12 months ago by Yahoo!
Your allegation that I broke Yahoo’s Terms of Service is not only unfounded but taken as a personal attack on myself.
For addition to your limited knowledge of my circumstances, my ID was falsely reported to Yahoo as doing something to break the Terms of Service. In this case and many others like this, Yahoo does not follow up to check out the allegations, but simply de-activates the ID. This happened to 3 successive ID’s of mine within 2 months. I have re-activated them all. This not only happened to me but a number of other people I know online. We have all reactivated our ID’s that were de-activated. The person who did this to us is known and has been reported to Yahoo.
As the other people, my friends, who have regained their ID’s are not members of BigBlueBall, it is obvious to the casual observer that they would not post here to share their good fortune in regaining their original ID’s. The fact that you feel the need for someone to collaborate my post here suggests you believe I am lying. Is everyones good news such a bad thing for you?
As for your ‘humble opinion’, it is indeed just that … humble.
I feel sorry that you are so offended and feel the need to attack me. I am sure my good luck story and the efforts that I go to share this with the members here is appreciated by many.
I hope your life improves and something positive happens for you sometime soon.
Cheers.
January 12, 2005 at 6:23 pm #87104Jeff HesterKeymasterYou lost the ID through breaking the Yahoo! terms of service. You were lucky you got the ID back, others won’t be able to do the same. You don’t get an ID deactivated because someone else falsely reported you, thats bull****. You somewhere along the line broke the Yahoo! terms of service, your theory that someone else had a grudge against you is unfounded. You have no proof of this at all. You broke the terms of service, and you were deactivated, end of story.
The Yahoo! terms of service is in place for a reason, and for you to come on a public forum and say, “its ok to break the Yahoo! terms of service, you’ll get your ID back like me” is not good at all.

NO WHERE did she say she broke the TOS. She said in fact they found the person who falsely reported them. Do you know her particular story inside and out?? NO! Don’t start bashing other members because you THINK you know more. There was no reason except spite for that post. If you continue this way, no good will come of it. If you don’t have PROOF that she’s wrong you have no right to tell her she’s WRONG for sure.

Yahoo! customer care are too aware of people who falsely report people to be malicious. Yahoo! wouldn’t deactivate without all the facts infront of them, and if they thought something dodgey was going on, they wouldn’t deactivate.
The fact that someone got an ID back after breaking the Yahoo! terms of service, the only way you get deactivated, shows the Yahoo! system has failed.
Is it a good thing to be bragging about this on a public forum?
My underlying point is, people aren’t ment to get ID’s back after deactivation, so Yahoo! the system is failing, and I don’t believe this should be talked about, because its not supposed to happen, and doesn’t happen, usually.

You’ve already stated your case multiple times. You’re welcome to have your opinion, but you’re acting like a broken record. The moderators and administrators are the only ones here who will decide what should and should not be discussed, please stop your unfounded lecturing. Remember, if you don’t like the topics being discussed on this forum, you are most certainly welcome to go somewhere else.January 13, 2005 at 12:05 am #87106Jeff HesterKeymastershifter wrote:Then shutup already.

Some think i’m attacking someone, when it isn’t the case, thats the reason I feel a need to defend whats already been said by me, by repeating it, in different ways. Others think, like you, i’m trying to tell people what to do, this is also unture. I merely state an opinion on what I believe is productive for users and Yahoo!
I stated above, “should this be talked about on a public forum?” I didn’t in any instance say “don’t talk about this on a public forum!” nor did I say, “you’re not allowed to talk about this on bbb“. Yet again you (shifter) have not read what i’ve said properly, but yet, you seem to be looking for any ammo to throw at me, as part of some underlying grudge you seem to have over me, by appearing out of the blue on threads, and accusing me of telling admins and moderators of bbb what to do, which is totally unfounded and not true. I think you just skim over threads, instead of actually read them, instead you read what you want to hear, than actually read fact not fiction.
So as i’ve just mentioned above, and will repeat to you again:
I’ve never once told an admin or moderator of bbb what to do, nor any of bbb’s members. You are delusional. -
