Although for editorial versus quality reasons, I got one of these first and last warnings earlier this year from my account manager. I was surprised they would put a million dollar a year account only one additional ad disapproval away from being canceled when our business relationship was otherwise so good and for so long.

I drastically cut back on submitting new ads and the few that I do submit I send to my account manager first to make sure they will not get disapproved if I have any doubt. So the result is they lost business from me submitting less ads and the few I do submit cause them more support time since they have to review them twice.

Of course, like the ad that caused this in the first place, I still need to worry about the 100s of already approved ads that a reviewer or their software may change their minds about. This environment of uncertainty has left a very uncomfortable feeling that I have yet to get over.
