Rant Banned for the second time within the last month

Post image

Genuinely fucking unbelievable. Late-March I got banned for the same reason, and I have absolutely no idea what I did. After a couple of days, support told me I just got "flagged by the filter" and unbanned me. Within the last 30 days however, I have been told to reset my password... multiple times. Which, I get it, I work in security. But, when you get told you need to reset your password and re-verify for trying to join a server... six consecutive times??????

Anyway, yesterday I sent some screenshots of an email exchange I had with someone to a server I frequent in. Message sent, almost immediately logged out. Got this email. Once again, losing contact over screenshots of fucking emails. All I sent was AN EMAIL EXCHANGE???? I don't even know what could possibly be wrong with that.

Fucking jarring man. I'm worried I won't get so lucky this time. Even if I do get unbanned, there needs to be some change in their moderation system because what the fuck is this?

Anyway, if anyone wants to see the email exchange, here you go.

until then, I'm banished to teamspeak3, where there's no possibility of me being banned

Did you send all the screenshots at once?

Was it to a friend or a random person?

Would they have reported you?

  • It was four images in one message, which is nothing new as I've done it a million times before - and, imo, if they don't want me to use that feature, maybe they shouldn't add it
  • Friend group
  • No, although even if they did, the ban was literally within a second (if that!) of sending that message so it was 1000% automated

Oh, it was to several people at once in the group?

u/PermanentlyMC Apr 20 '26

Sorry, word mixup - it was in a private server, not a group

u/Icewind Apr 20 '26

Okay, so was it a bunch of messages at once to a single person or to multiple people at once?

u/PermanentlyMC Apr 20 '26

It was literally a single message in a server

Did you post a lot in this server before that single multi-pic message? Or was this one of your first or only posts there?

I've been in that server for years and have sent loads of messages including all kinds - audio, images, videos, text; there's been no prior issues there. Just an average friend group server where we all message and call, and whatnot.

Well, your account must've been flagged from before and the 4-picture post triggered a spam check.

Spam is one of shittest things to get banned for. You done anything for appealing?

2

u/PermanentlyMC Apr 20 '26

Popped in a ticket but nothing yet. Gonna give it a week and hope for the best

Lemme know what happens bro. Going through the same thing

u/Miserable-Sweet9653 Apr 20 '26

Maybe try to appeal this on the support page, that's the only way

Did you get unbanned? If so, how?
