If you're not interested in me read no further If you look at the headers of the post, you can see that I'm using a different email address than usual. This is because Hotmail in all their wisdom have decided to close the account. This happened without any warning at all. They claim that I have sent objectional material (cue jokes). I didn't. The irritating thing is that they will not tell me what was offensive or where this claim comes from. I think it's someone on a newsgroup, or possibly an off-chance that someone just wants this address. Anyone experienced something similar? -- Spete www.gimmemoney.mine.nu www.spete.homeip.net Occasionally, I'll be consistent
Yes, once, someone really liked my house address, he was from newcastle or somewhere, and for some reason he liked the road i live in, although he kept saying byker grove as opposed to viking grove. Anyway, yes he really wanted my address. My commisserations mate.....
Thanks, I think. I'm not sure if I can respect the opinion of a scooterista It's just that this is a bit irritating, having no recourse. At least you got the chance of shooting the (more) northern bastard..... -- Spete www.gimmemoney.mine.nu www.spete.homeip.net Occasionally, I'll be consistent

I dont know if it still happens (it sounds like it does), but Hotmail used to close accounts almost immediately when there was an abuse report sent in about the account, without bothering to check it out. It was pointed out on another (advert) group that if someone was being a 'twat', then just report him to hotmail, and the account will be closed. It's all down to 'you get what you pay for', normal ISPs would give you a warning before pulling the plug. Alan.
I now know..... but I can't imagine someone doing this. Apart from a few choice words with burnt a few weeks ago, I have no beef with anyone AFAIK. Still, it looks like this happened. I think I'm going to put my conversations with the M$ bint online at some point. It's a shame that they're cutting and pasting, but I will try and see if I can get her to be more 'personal'. Anyone know someone at M$ a bit higher up? I love a fight..... Even if I know I'm going to lose. -- Spete www.gimmemoney.mine.nu www.spete.homeip.net Occasionally, I'll be consistent
"Spete" said to "Donegal Paul" heh. I cant understand why you have no recourse though, unfair at least.
You???? Spiteful???? Never !!!!! Besides, I wasn't accusing you at all. The only one I had a few choice words with was you and I can't imagine you grassing me up with M$.. -- Spete www.gimmemoney.mine.nu www.spete.homeip.net Occasionally, I'll be consistent
Thanks. What adverts group would this be? I'd like some examples, maybe even tp use in my conversations with the M$ person (have they also moved their support to India?). -- Spete www.gimmemoney.mine.nu www.spete.homeip.net Occasionally, I'll be consistent
I did. I know I should have put my webcam on. -- Spete www.gimmemoney.mine.nu www.spete.homeip.net Occasionally, I'll be consistent
You were lucky then, they won't even tell me why to protect the rights of the accuser..... -- Spete www.gimmemoney.mine.nu www.spete.homeip.net Occasionally, I'll be consistent
It would be either uk.adverts.computer or the uk.p.c.ebay. It was a long time ago, maybe a year, so it may be a long search, doing a quick google group search brings up hundreds of similar complaints such as yours, and none of them seem to get anywhere. Alan.
Hotmail tend to close any account where abuse has been alleged without seeking any evidence or confirmation that any abuse has taken place. It is possible that it is an automated process. There have even been cases of people having their accounts closed when they have COMPLAINED about abuse because their own Hotmail address appeared in the text of the complaint! Hotmail will never reinstate the account once it is closed nor will they allow access to any stored email on the account. Basically a Hotmail account should be treated as a disposable item. Tony
