I've been working on several other projects over the last 2 months so PBPP deduction and account maintenance has not been performed as it usually would be. May will start back as per normal, but it will continue as if the other months had been done normally.
Example: If you had not reached your PBPP quota last month and did not reach it again this month then your account will be terminated. It would have been suspended last month if account maintenance was done normally, but due to non-L2P projects that was not possible.

so it would be automactically terminated without any suspension phrase?
i was under the impression that if you had over half of your points then you wouldn't get suspended the first time, but if you failed to meet your total requirement after the second month, you'd get suspended, and if the account wasn't made up within a month, termination would occur?
i'm just inquiring, are you saying its possible to go strait to termination?
also, when are you planning to run the next run of pbpp deductions, could you give us a time frame, I know that many, including myself, would rather see it a bit later than the start of the month to be able to get to our required amount. Personally, I would suggest to perhaps try a time-frame like the 8th to the 10th, and then transistion to back to the beginning in august.

I'm just saying that if your account was due to be suspended, but was not because of external factors it will proceed to termination without being suspended. Anyone that this happened to should look at it as a chance to recover from a lack of PBPP without having their account suspended while doing it. 
Other than that I may grant a stay of termination for some accounts if effort has been put in. I'm not exactly evil.

When you say 'account was due to be suspended', do you mean it was due to be suspended at May 1st or at actual collection time (May 17th)?

Due to be suspended for not having the PBPP required for the account at collection in May.

Well, if the PBPP/post really has increased (finally a news post  ) there shouldn't really be a problem for a lot of people to still reach there monthly fee. I guess it will just be deducted like it used too, somewhere in the first week of june (I could be wrong of course).

I don't have webhosting here, but I still agree that PBPP should not be deducted until at least a week or so into June because I don't think the PBPP was deducted until the 17th-ish(?) of this month. Half a month is not enough time for everyone to get the required number of points, especially when there has been a lack of exciting topics.
It's nice to see Trel back. I was fixing to go start my own webhosting, and I had several ideas for a name: lifelesspersons, lifelesshumans, lifelackingpeople...

Well, we all know the answer now. It seems the full amount was deducted on the first of June. I'm glad that we're back on track for making the deductions on the first of the month again and hope that it can be kept up.
As for having enough to gather the necessary PBPP. Although it was tough, I think we had plenty of time in May to gather 400 PBPP ('cuz I did it  ), but not for the higher costing plans. However, because of the recent change that makes getting PBPP easier (which I'm not really sure whether or not like it since it's kinda seeming a bit too easy to me), I think they'll just have take the loss (going into the negatives, suspension, whatever) and recover next month (June).

I just had the required points yesterday so you won't hear me complain about the deduction. + a normal deduction schedule sounds nice to me

Nobody will suspended till the 7th of June. Even if your account is now marked for suspension, as long as your PBPP will be positive again before the 7th of June, everything will be fine. (And I'm glad with that, because I'm still negative. )

So this is what is happening:
As long as you achieved half of your PBPP, you will make it. I have half of the required, so I wasn't marked for suspension.
But Trel saying we have until 7th of June does not mean deduction will take place on that day. For those who are still a little bit confused, deduction already took place, but if you are marked for suspension or termination, open a support ticket to request more time, with a good reason.

Well, that's even better then. It gives the people who needed more PBPP (or others that just couldn't reach their amount) a little more time to collect some PBPP with the new granting amounts to recover without the penalty of suspension.
