Amazon shutting down author accounts without explanation, withholding royalties

*allegedly.

> This seems to be a mass issue as of late with many indie authors. I read that there was a bot problem that deleted thousands of authors accounts and stores without notice and many are trying to get them back up and those that have been able to so far have lost their preorder numbers for upcoming work (which are so important) and are having to cancel launch and create a new one. Amazon needs to get their ish together.
