Suspended, disabled, or banned? You are not alone.

One of my videos blew up a couple of weeks ago, around 2.7 million views, and the comments were mostly positive. A few days later, five older videos going back months got taken down for “hateful behavior,” which none of them are. I appealed all five through the in-app tool. Three were restored right away, but the other two were denied, and the account warning is still sitting there more than a month later.

Looks like a mass-reporting thing to me, because the timing lines up too well with the viral video. The part that bugs me most is that the two they upheld are the only strikes I’ve ever had.

Has anyone gotten a warning removed after the videos themselves were restored?

got a notification that my account was banned because they think i’m underage. i’m 27. had this account for years. the notice says i have 23 days to appeal and download my data or it gets deleted. appealed right away, nothing yet. anyone been through this?

Got the sudden “suspended for platform manipulation and spam” notice with zero warning. Filed the appeal and within about an hour it was reversed, apparently caught in some bulk automated spam sweep by mistake. Account works again but my follower and following numbers are still catching up, seems like that part takes a bit longer to sync back after a mistaken flag like this.

Suspension notice just says the account violated the rules “due to a user report,” nothing about which post, no specifics at all. Only thing I’ve been told clearly is that the decision is final if the appeal doesn’t go through. Kind of hard to know what to even avoid doing next time when the actual complaint is never spelled out.

I use a third-party app to schedule my posts in advance since I don’t have time to post live every day. Got a notice that this counts as “platform manipulation” under the automation rules and the account is now suspended. Never used bots for likes or follows, just scheduled posting. Apparently this is a fairly common false flag for people using outside apps to manage a normal account, not just bot networks. Appeal is in, no response yet.

A tweet I posted months ago got quote-tweeted by a much bigger account this week, and within a few hours my account was suspended over it. From what I understand, the reporting system can be used in bulk by groups trying to force someone’s account down, and the suspension notice doesn’t say anything about that possibility, it just cites the general policy. Feels a lot more like volume than an actual violation.

My account was permanently suspended back in June. Filed several separate appeals over about a month before one of them finally worked and the suspension got lifted. Logged in expecting everything to be back to normal and instead got an empty shell, zero followers, zero following, no posts, like the account had just been created. Didn’t touch anything for two days and it slowly filled back in on its own. If this happens to anyone else, just leave it alone and don’t panic, it does come back.

Someone got into my account despite having two-factor authentication turned on, and posted a bunch of spam tagging other spam accounts. I noticed within a day, changed the password, and deleted the spam. Two days later the account gets suspended for spamming. Appealed explaining the hack, and a couple hours later got a reply saying the suspension was upheld. So the account that got compromised is the one paying for it, not whoever actually did it.
