What is the other half of this story?
I don't know anything about the author, but has he done anything to enrage the G?
If this is truly just a random account disablement, then it would seem that Google needs to augment their customer support accessibility and procedures. If the author is/was somehow "competing" with Google on some level, or making anti-G remarks, I would be curious about such details.
I think there is more to this story.

- abstractbill 18y agoIf the author is/was somehow ... making anti-G remarks Are you saying that would have been a fair reason to suspend his accounts? At Justin.TV, one of the things I'm proud of is that we clearly communicate the things that can get your account suspended. Making "anti-Justin.TV remarks" is certainly not one of them!
- brk 18y agoNot saying it would have been fair, saying it would have been understandable, even if the decision logic used was faulty.
- axod 18y agoI have not done anything I know to be wrong, or even border line. Also, I've been a long time google supporter and that's why I've used so many of their products. Even if someone did make "anti-G remarks" (Which I have not afaik), I don't think that would be reason to disable their account. I understand your skepticism - it was exactly my response when I heard it had happened to some other people a few months ago.
- brk 18y agoThanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. I trust your response, which means that this is truly an oddly random event, and indicative (IMO) of Google not being truly ready for things to lose the "beta" icon.
