Hi Buster,
I appreciate the explanation, and I think a lot of other Medium subscribers will, as well.
I still think you -- or a fellow staffer of yours -- should author a piece detailing exactly HOW someone would go about getting their account reinstated, in the presumably-unlikely event that their account is flagged and suspended by mistake. Encourage readers to take screenshots of the article...since they obviously wouldn't be able to read it, retroactively, if their account access has been suddenly denied.
It's one of my greatest fears. Even when I try to do everything right, as a member of the Medium community -- I wake up everyday and log onto Medium with the anticipation that I'm going to see a red box telling me that my account has been yanked. And I've been wringing my hands trying to figure out what to do, if such a scenario ever happens to me.
I can't be the only one.
