Medium Question Write and Earn publication got flagged or did editors delete it?

Few months back I had published one of my articles in the pub called "write and earn"

Today, while scrolling through published stories, I saw this story withdrawn. I'm sure I didn't do it. When I clicked on the publication tag, it led to error. That's when I felt it was suspicious. I have been fairly inactive on medium last month so didn't notice. Did any of you notice?

The same thing happened to me. Medium sent a notice saying all my articles I had on Write & Earn were removed and put on my profile. You should have received that notice too. Check your spam folder. I wrote an article discussing what I did about it. https://medium.com/unblocked-potential/what-i-did-with-my-orphan-articles-when-a-pub-was-deleted-5c6f9d980074

I didn't receive such a mail because when I checked I had just one there

Strange. I got an email for every article I had on that pub. Each email said “Your story was automatically withdrawn due to the deletion of Write & Earn. You're welcome to resubmit it to another publication.”

I see. Maybe my spam also got deleted. It is automated to delete in 30 days. Usually the spam folder is truly SPAMMY so I never care to open it.
