Question
-
Greetings, My name is Jeff, I'm from Netwrix Corporation, which is a Microsoft partner. I have a problem with accessing Microsoft TechNet forum. After signing-in to my account: Netwrix-Technet@netwrix.com, I go to TechNet forum, and get a message that: "Your account does not have access to the forums system." And also I've noticed that all my posts were deleted from TechNet forums. Can moderators tell me why did that happen? Why didn't I receive any warning about my account suspension?
I've already submitted 2 tickets to MSDN Site Feedback Inquiry but didn't receive any answer.
I've called Microsoft TechNet at 800-344-2121 and Professional Support team at 1-800-936-5800. But everybody send me to the MSDN Site Feedback Inquiry from which I didn't get any answer.
Anybody can help me with my problem?

Hi,
Is this the profile you're referencing?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Profile/netwrix
It doesn't appear to be banned, but you're definitely right about there being no activity listed.
I'd suggest contacting the forums team directly by sending an email to fissues (at) microsoft [dot] com. The admins do monitor this forum, so you'll probably get a response here as well.

No, I'm referencing to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/profile/jeff%20(netwrix)/
I'd still recommend reaching out to fissues. That account also doesn't appear to be banned, as I can still see items in the activity list.

The messages appear to all be deleted. I think they could have thought you're promoting that tool from your company and thus deleted (and may be banned) your account.
You do need to contact fissues as Mike suggested.

Gotcha, I see what you mean.
The forums team should be able to help you get this all figured out. They may take a while to respond, just so you're aware.
Good luck.

Hi Jeff,
As Naomi pointed out, posts using reference of tools external to Microsoft may make them appear as spams and consequently lead to action against the account.
Nevertheless, Your account is active again.
Have a good day.
Thank you!
