Darrin & Josy have been banned for some unknown reason on Stumble Upon, I am starting a campaign to quickly and painlessly get them reinstated.
Simply go to:
http://www.stumbleupon.com/feedback/
And politely ask for mycutepetpics.com to be reinstated.
Or, if you know of a better, or more direct route than their feedback form, please leave a comment here.
Thanks!
Together we can make a difference.

Thank you so very much for all your support and efforts thus far. You have really touched our hearts. We were honestly just about to let the whole thing go even though it has really upset us and frustrated us beyond belief.
It really hurt's to be labeled as a spammer when we are the complete opposite of those people. It also hurts to see that a bigger site like ProBlogger.net got their account banned and even their site removed from stumble all together and they were reinstated in just under 2 hours!
What they did was as spammy as you can imagine and made a post for everyone to include their stumble account in the comment section. They said it was innocent? Why else would ProBlogger members( 99% website owners) include their SU accounts?
I know the site and the users and they have nothing but friends that stumble and review for each other and they got reinstated! Only reason being is because ProBlogger has a huge following( me included) and they do and will bring traffic to Stumble which in the long run makes Stumble more money on their sponsorships and such.
So what the smaller sites like mine get popular then we get banned until we pay money. Unfortunately while searching Google i cam across so many people who are in the same boat. I would bet at least 50% are not spammy people or sites but also became popular on SU and had their accounts also frozen until they pay up.
Just imagine how many people have already payed up so far!! That goes to show us that they are just in it for the money and the site will become like Digg soon and their numbers will dwindle down unfortunately. I thought Stumble was the coolest site and loved using it daily to speak to my 3 friends and so we can easily share heartwarming posts. To get removed from their has hurt us deeply but me in particular. As most people know I am bed bound and disable so I don't have much to do with my days except use the computer. I used to spend so many hours a day using Stumble and it's toolbar but now all I have is 4walls to look at.
You have given us the drive to not let this go and tomorrow we will do whatever we can to be heard. We have received numerous e-mails so far from people who are trying to help and that means so much to us.
It also really hurts that problogger got a response in less then 2 hours after they got removed and we have now waited more then 4 days.
Greed will be the downfall of the online social media sites one day and even the downfall of mankind.
Thank you so much again and God Bless,
Darrin & Josy

They (SU) are really greedy. I have a bunch of friends whose accounts got frozen. If they wanted money, they should have asked politely; afterall, to be an SU sponsor is supposed to be voluntary, not forced. Freezing one's account to get money seems like blackmail; actually it is blackmail. I hope this issue gets settled soon.
See you soon at StumbleUpon.
Take care and God bless you!
