“How did you do it? What did you write in the appeal? I've got the same problem”
“Would if I could, but the account is deactivated, so I can't log in to export anything now. Lesson learned for next time.”
“Oh and disabled does not mean deleted. Ask me how I know. You account was not deleted. It was disabled. You have a right to dispute and make formal legal demands for formal reinstatement. But your documentation must include formal proof. I have used emails from fb verifying when…”

“hey, i feel that reddit struggle. trying to be helpful while sneaking in your app without getting banned is a weird dance. i've been using replyhey.com to find threads where people are already asking for what my app does, and it checks subreddit rules so…”

“Oh and disabled does not mean deleted. Ask me how I know. You account was not deleted. It was disabled. You have a right to dispute and make formal legal demands for formal reinstatement. But your documentation must include formal proof. I have used emails from fb verifying when I originally created the account, the page, and full timelines with evidence labeled evidence A, B,C etc. as attachments to the formal demand notice. They reinstated my account in 3 business days of receipt with a formal”
“Wasn't using the platform last night but got an email before bed I was deactivated due to violating terms and usage policies. Didn't indicate what rule was violated or what prompt violated the rule. I have appealed and we will see what happens, but the claim is Election Interference which seems pretty severe for generating a few graphics based on reporting that ChatGPT itself confirmed before generating regarding other people's reported plans for Election Interference such as seizing”
“You've got a [ Removed by Reddit ] in that comment. Since you're already hiding your comment history, I assume you've created a new account to work around a suspension. Bear in mind SaaS work and the marketing around it is really hard. This is not a wheeze you can get into just because you fancy making a quick bit of cash. If you want to take it seriously, build a portfolio, use your real name, and start building a reputation. If you are starting from scratch now, you have years of w”
“You got a warning, you continued doing the same things, there were consequences, no, you will not get the account back.”
“op im sorry but the jailbreaking is what triggered it. anything with the term jailbreak triggers the cyber flags for most ai services because users use that term for jailbreaking a model, and companies want to avoid that. so the filters are very sensitive.”

“Same, they legally have to give me a copy of my chat history so hoping I can stat a fresh account and just hook up my GitHub repos again and continue working on my projects that weren't related to the ban. Right before I got banned I made it dump it's memory and context into it's own repo as well.”
“Gonna DM you one lil trick that may help or possibly not but if its that important to you its worth a shot”
“Would if I could, but the account is deactivated, so I can't log in to export anything now. Lesson learned for next time.”
“If your main account, as you said, got banned then by definition the other account is the burner one. Which doesn't matter. The chronological order is not important. What matters is that you tried to circumvent a ban by using another account. Reddit does the same thing. If you're banned from a sub, using another account to circumvent the ban, it's against the TOS and that account will be banned too. I guess you'll just have to buckle down and study the old school way.”
“Not in online services (worked next to a team working on this problem at another FAANG) It means trying to evade a prior ban with a new account.”
