Has anyone ever gotten banned on Triond?

I just got the weirdest email message from Triond, saying that I had been involved in some fraudulent activity to get more views for my articles or something? I know I haven't done anything wrong, my articles are originals and I have connected my blog to the Triond widget, as well as gotten the Twitter widget, but both those are allowed by Triond, so that can't be the problem?
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is there anything I can do?
It is such a shame, because I really liked Triond!

Nope, I have tried to call and to mail them, but they do not reply to anything. They also have some kind of place where you can ask questions online, but they just told me told mail them to the same email address where you don't get a reply. So they are basically just ignoring me, I think it is because they know I didn't do anything wrong and they banned me for no reason. So I will not be writing for them anymore, which is a shame for them really, my articles were making quite a lot of money!
I'll try to be more active on Bukisa instead, I think.

So sorry! I wish you success on Bukisa. Tell us how it goes and if it turns out to be better than Triond. All the best!

I haven't gotten banned from Triond, but I did get banned from Bukisa for promoting it on a traffic exchange. Well lets say it was my first time and I learned from it. I like Triond a lot and I'm not gonna risk losing my ID there. Lets hop I continue making some money out of it. Cheers.

I see. What confuses me in my case is that I did not use any service for traffic exchange, I don't believe in traffic exchanges so I would never ever do that. Good luck with your Triond articles, I hope you continue to be successful there!

Did it actually say you've been banned or just that you're in violation of the rules? You should certainly ask them to tell you exactly what you did wrong. And if you *are* banned, you should be allowed to remove your articles from the site. Otherwise, Triond will be making money from them, and you'll get nothing. Hope you get this straightened out. I don't write for Triond any more, and don't like the site, but I've heard that the people who run it are pretty good about straightening out problems.

Nope, they sent me a mail saying I had violated the rules, so I was banned. I had gotten no previous warning and I know I have done nothing wrong (and I really have a hard time believing that anyone else would have any interest in getting traffic to my articles, especially since I haven't really told any of my friends that I am writing them in the first place).
I wrote Triond a message back asking what is going on but I haven't gotten a reply yet...
