I was a member of ehow from 10/2007 to 04/2009 I wrote and published article and was paid for views. I had about 100 articles published and some were making good money. On 04/01/2009 I tried to log into my account and received a message that said my account has been disabled. I sent them many emails asking why it was disabled, they finally emailed me back and said it was deleted for plagiarism on a article and that was all it said; didn't say which article was in question, or the chance to appeal it which is what they state in their terms of use.
They just delete the members entire account. Now the problem i have is, I am getting emails from other ehow members commenting on my articles that were supposedly deleted because they disabled my account.
When i click on the comment that was made by the ehow member about one of my articles, it redirects to an ehow editor's ehow account and my article is on their account but the words are changed a little and my images are gone. Isn't that plagiarism? and stealing!! They are taking and using other people's articles to steal the money that was earned by the person who wrote the article. If you visit ehow's forum there are many other's that this has happened to; I just read a bunch today. This is not right because we spent a lot of time writing these articles, watching them earn good money and then people who work for ehow steal them!! I hope you can help us, Thank you S. Logan
