If you find that you are no longer a member of The Initiates Program, you should have received a message from a TIP Supervisor explaining why.
You may have been temporarily suspended, or "frozen" because you were inactive. Inactive TIP members are often frozen to make space in the records for newer and active members. However you are very welcome to re-join the program.
In serious circumstances, you may have been terminated. A termination is issued if you have committed a serious violation of the guidelines or ToU. It may also be issued if you constantly disregard the non-serious guidelines, have mislead the TIP team (therefore are untrustworthy), or you may have been very impolite to others. You may appeal against a termination, but it is down to the TIP team to decide if you should be allowed back into the program.
If you believe there is an error, mistake or website glitch causing your membership to drop, please get in touch with a TIP supervisor.
