I dont recal when in the cycle it was, but I've gotten temporarily banned a few times because of user-generated content that violates their rules. Each time they've given me an example and stated that there a might be others. I clean it up, check for others, submit an appeal, and get advertising turned back on within a week or two.
I never show ads on the pages with UGC, and I used to point out that I wasn't technically in violation of the rules in my appeals. They then changed the rules to support their behavior of banning a site for content anywhere on it even if not on the same pages as the ads. I've since stopped showing AdSense on sites with UGC and I haven't been baned since.
Edit: I didn't vote in the poll but I just checked my email history and these came in on 11/7/2011, 5/15/2012, 10/29/2012, and 6/19/2013
Payments are usually issued to me around the 23rd or 24th of the month. So one ban within 4 days and 3 bans that weren't. However it was the most recent one and the only one within the past year, so perhaps this is a new occurrence.
- jshen 13y agoI'm in the same boat. What are you using for UGC sites instead of Adsense?
- nfriedly 13y agoI tried out a few different networks, but they were all so spammy and/or low-paying that I just gave up. I think I have one or two amazon affiliate links and the rest don't have anything to generate revenue.
