Banned links

First time I got my links banned for too much traffic used in 2015. First time the ban was about for 24 hours.

Yesterday I got banned again, for having too large video file shared. This time 24 hours passed and I still cannot create any link for any file I have (that video I had is already deleted).

For how long I will remain banned this time?

Hello RebornGothic

Usually, it is banned for 24 to 72 hours.  But it will be longer after each occurrence.

Hey @Moonfruit, thanks for joining our Community!

It sounds like your links might be banned for some reason. 

Can I reach out to you via email, so we can look into this?

I will be emailing you, however, I can only reach out to the email address you have here on the Community.

Is that OK?

It sounds like your ability to share may have been banned. You'll need to contact Support.
