Sina deletes the first batch of expired shared materials from users

Today, after logging into iask, I found out that Sina's free storage service has added a time limit. All files can only be stored for 30 days, and after the expiration, each file can be extended for 15 days. The webmaster feels very disappointed with this decision.

What's worse is that Sina actually deleted all the data stored by the webmaster in the past one and a half years, completely disregarding its own credibility. I never expected such an event to happen on Sina, so the webmaster decided to completely abandon all of Sina's services.

Personally, I think Sina's adjustment this time is extremely unreasonable, and the notification work was not done well at all. Sina only sent a station reminder email to the webmaster in April 2008. However, during the final period of data deletion, there were no reminders or prompts at all. Moreover, when the webmaster logged in and uploaded data before, everything was normal, and there was no obvious prompt in the inbox. As a "former" portal site, Sina's service is indeed disheartening. Not only did it violate its original promise, but it also ignored the users' efforts, brutally deleting their data and information. During this process, it couldn't even send an email proactively to the registered email address of the user. This kind of service is really terrible.

Although Sina's storage service is free, the webmaster cannot demand too much, but at least they should adhere to their credibility and do a good job with the aftermath work, right? Moreover, many netizens initially valued Sina's promise of unlimited storage time. Now, Sina has gone back on its word, shortening the storage time to 30 days, with each extension lasting 15 days, which is at the same level as QQ Mail's transfer station, completely abandoning the users. Many users have suffered losses in this incident. The webmaster noticed that the top 3 users in terms of points in Sina's free storage service - Xie Yi Heng Qiu, Bashi Nian Dai Hou, and ★Phoenix Nirvana★, all had their data deleted. I believe they are just as upset as the webmaster.
