When Mirco Wilhelm tried using to log into his Flickr account yesterday, he was amazed to find that his 5-year-old Pro account with approximately 4,office Pro Plus 2007 (http://www.office2007-key.eu/),000 pictures had utterly vanished. It then dawned on him that only weekly earlier he had reported one additional account for posting stolen photographs.
He instantly contacted Flickr asking if they had deleted the incorrect account by mistake, and obtained the following electronic mail:
Hi there,
Sad to say, I've mixed up the accounts and accidentally deleted yours. I'm terribly sorry for this grave error and desire that this error is usually reconciled. Right here is what I can do from here:
I can restore your account, although we'll not be able to retrieve your photographs. I'm sure that there is a whole lot of historical past in your account–again,office 2007 Pro Plus serial key (http://www.office2007-key.in/), please accept my apology for my negligence. Once I restore your account, I will add four years of free Pro to make up for my error.
Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do.
Again, I am deeply sorry for this error.
Regards,
Flickr staff
So basically, Flickr accidentally cast their permanent account deletion spell on the innocent account rather than the guilty one,windows 7 x64 key (http://www.windows7-key.org/), and there’s nothing they can do except offer four years of Pro membership as an apologetic gesture.
The fact that all account deletions are permanent (and often without warning) has been a lingering issue for quite some time now, but it appears that Flickr is finally addressing the problem — they’re working on making deletions easily reversible.
Flickr has been sending out the following statement to various news sites reporting on the story:
Yesterday, Flickr inadvertently deleted a member’s account. Flickr takes user trust very seriously and we,microsoft office 2007 Pro Plus serial (http://www.office2007-key.eu/), like our users, take great pride in being capable of take, post and share photos. Our teams are currently working hard to try to restore the contents of this user’s account. We are working on a process that would allow us to easily restore deleted accounts and we plan on rolling this functionality out soon.
It’s good that Flick realized that this broken system needs to be fixed, but it’s sad that even one user had to lose 5 years of work for it to happen.
You have to f**king kidding, Yahoo! (via Thomas Hawk) Update: Turns out Flickr was capable to restore Wilhelm’s account,office Ultimate 2007 serial (http://www.office2007-key.ca/), and then gave him 25 years of pro membership for the mistake. We wonder though — would they have done anything if this hadn’t become a PR nightmare for the service? What about all the people who have had images “permanently” deleted in the past? (Thanks Eugene!) Update: Interestingly enough, we compared Flickr and Facebook’s image deletion policy a while ago. We found that the two companies have completely different approaches to content deletion — Flickr deletes content almost straight away from their servers when you delete it from the site, while Facebook seems to never delete content.
