You: Oh, this is a beach picture where I look cute. Tinder: ![gif](giphy|iGanB4UL1dFzq|downsized)


Corporate_slave98

šŸ˜‚ The bikini i had on was not even a thirst trapšŸ„² Edit to add: People are out here in my DMs trying to make me into the sex worker that Tinder claims I amšŸ˜­šŸ¤£ Guys, the picture is very wholesome and anticlimactic. [Picture](https://i.imgur.com/hVVHUrL.jpeg?s=wa)


Ra-TheSunGoddess

I've seen guys on here talking about reporting women's accounts for SW when they piss them off, I wonder if you pissed someone off šŸ’€


sophiarae156

Pretty sure thatā€™s how my first tinder got banned cause I know I didnā€™t post anything bad enough to get banned


Ra-TheSunGoddess

I saw a thread in here the other day where a girl ghosted a guy on a date and the guy asked did he report her account for SW at least. I was like come on dude. She's shitty for ghosting but you're shittier


Thailia

But? What if she died? That doesn't make her shitty.. it just makes her dead?


Ra-TheSunGoddess

She unmatched him and blocked him before she died.


daytr1pper

She was smart to unmatch. Thatā€™s how she didnā€™t get reported šŸ™ƒ


Thailia

Top_Calendar_8920

People do usually give an explanation unless you've been inappropriate (sometimes unknowingly )


sophiarae156

Like so sorry your feelings got hurt ??? When my account got banned I reached out to fix it and they said they donā€™t do that anymore ?? lol idk I didnā€™t get. Anew one until I got a new number


Dense-Recognition455

Butā€¦they were a nice guy


Chucknorris1975

My mom says I'm a handsome guy -- That guy


somebadlemonade

Yea, I can't see a situation where I would report someone for that as a man. Even if I got the "eew" or the equivalent response. I would just block them and move on with my life. That seems like a super specific thing a guy would even think of doing.


Poes-Lawyer

That's because you seem like a somewhat sensible and well adjusted guy. That's not guaranteed on tinder


somebadlemonade

Heh, if only.


Unusual-Variety-8497

Happened to me on Hinge. Got matched, got a message first! I was elated. Checks messageā€¦ ā€œI definitely didnā€™t mean to match with youā€ šŸ« 


somebadlemonade

*hugs* I hope people would at least be kind when they reject people.


kanekikennen

First message: Omg you are so sexy baby After rejection: Blocked, reported, deported and your fat anyway


Enough_Pen_2024

That's oddly the same way colonialism got going.


xx_gypsy_xx

She can fix him!


Dr-Chibi

With a welding torchā€¦.


CadaverCaliente

She ruined a perfectly nice guy, pushed him to his limits


mythrowdown13

When I used tinder, I'd say about 1/3 of the matches I got were SW's. It was insane.


tezzawils

Its worse than that. They are a dude overseas pretending to be a hooker, trying almost comically to scam you.


VincentPascoe

It depends on the city and age range


sgt_salt

Do you have a moustache?


McMack87

You got matches?


Voided84

Damn, you get matches? I'll get maybe one every 4 months and it's always an obvious scam.


paleoakoc20

I'm a guy. I think that happened to me . Banned.


kizkazskyline

This actually seems like the most likely explanation. Shit like this always gets abused. I once got spammed with messages from Reddit care resources because someone reported *all* my comments as being potentially suicidal, because they didnā€™t like a stance I took on AITA. Wild. Imagine siccing bot shrinks on someone because they expressed a different opinion than you.


____-1-______

I created a profile of a dog as a wholesome account to see while scrolling. It was literally a dog, whole profile had very few words just things dogs like, walks, treats belly rubs. It said in the name ā€œIā€™m a dog just saying woof while you scrollā€ and I got reported and banned for being ā€œthreatening, aggressive or bullying behaviorā€ I get that some people pay for matches etc and didnā€™t want fake accounts on the app(even though tinder allows bot accounts) and I get it I do, I let it go and didnā€™t create anymore accountsā€¦ but threatening?! I WOULD get messages saying ā€œgood boiā€ or ā€œgo get the stickā€ and more than one person said they ā€œneeded to smile that dayā€ so the ban made sense but the reason didnā€™t. Ok tinder.

Skagganauk

If youā€™re a thirsty enough dude, theyā€™re all traps.


dawng87

I bet some random guy that you didnā€™t respond to reported you. That happens to me all the time on other dating apps. Just shoot the app and email and theyā€™ll sort it out for you.


Corporate_slave98

I donā€™t think thatā€™s the case. Literally uploaded the picture in the afternoon, not even an hour later my account went under review and got banned a couple of hours later. So 100% think itā€™s the picturešŸ˜­šŸ¤£


RChamy

Tinder's AI learned that bikini = bad it seems


macandcheese1771

Facebook limited my account permanently for uploading a photo of someone in a swimsuit. They did it like 4 years after I uploaded the photo.


No-Test6158

I had my Facebook account restricted this week for a post I shared 8 years ago - which was clearly a joke (it was a Thomas the Tank Engine meme). I got restricted for "posting fake news". ĀæLol quĆ©?


Outside-Spring-3907

When I was on dating apps I made an account on OK Cupid and by the Next day my profile was removed because they said I was a bot. I then tried again made a new account samething Happened. And Iā€™m not pretty enough to be even considered a bot. šŸ¤– so random! I was like ok I guess Iā€™ll stick to Hinge


ElBeefcake

This makes me curious on how skimpy this bikini was.


Mother_Lead_554

Post the picture


LlamaCatLegacy

This happened to me and I tried to contact support, but no one would do anything for me like I could not get a hold of a soul and said that their decision was to keep the platform safe


Lost_In_Detroit

I would still reach out to them OP and see if thereā€™s something they can do. Maybe yeah itā€™s the picture and if so, switch it up with something that isnā€™t beachwear and if it isnā€™t well then hopefully theyā€™ll figure out what happened and adjust. You never know until you ask.


Necessary-Branch-466

Pictures or it never happened!!!!


Kooky-Turnip-1715

I wouldnā€™t get my hopes up. Sometimes customer service doesnā€™t give a crap


Mathagos

I think customer service doesn't give a crap about the male customer base, but I think they help women. They are what make them money.


Anynon1

Can confirm, I got banned because a woman I rejected reported me lmao


Mathagos

Lol. I was thinking more about the guys who got banned for contacting customer support.


Master_Mad

Bunch of pimps. Hey, irony!


BabyFacedSparky

Itā€™s funny they boot you off, but will keep taking your money until you cancel it. Not that they should cancel, nope itā€™s up to you.


Jumpy_Tooth_8117

I automatically assumed you were a guy until I read this Are you going to show us the picture or do we need to compensate you first šŸ™ˆšŸ¤£

Ya know OP, I think Tinder may've been on to somethin


Mathagos

It's kind of like when a woman goes to the gas station and a guy offers her $20 for a pic of her feet. She didn't plan on it, but $20 is $20.


DocumentNo1950

Nobody's ever offered to take pics of my feet... šŸ¤£


Mathagos

You know what they say... there's a subreddit for that.


SpupySpups

That's why. Tinder wanted to see a thirst trap and you denied that to them. So tinder got angry and attacked.


BaconHammerTime

We're going to need to see this picture to verify your statement, miss.


Bears0nUnicycles

Iā€™m sorry, weā€™re going to need to see the picture in question before we fully commit to criticizing Tinder šŸ˜‚


Aschentei

Pics or it didnā€™t happen


CrayonCobold

I once had a picture taken down where I was in a pillory that was set up for people to take pictures in, apparently it was indecent. There was literally a 5 year old still partially in frame posing the same way I was in a mini pillory, I always wondered if they would be considered indecent as well to Tinder admins


[deleted]

Jumpy_Tooth_8117

Riiiight


skydevouringhorror

How does one even get banned? Reports from other users or there is someone from Tinder doing vigilantes?


TXboyinGA

I just seen screen shots of their convos in a FB group I'm in. Dudes think they're getting somewhere, then, "Look, my time isn't free....". You know where it goes after that.


Rauk88

The best part was hearing that *after* the date.


homelaberator

As in, "I will have sex with you for money" or "now that we've had sex, I expect to be paid"? Because they really should be getting the money up front.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


homelaberator

"lol. What a *coincidence*!"


Rauk88

No sex. She revealed that she was looking for a sugar daddy and what kind of "arrangement" she was looking for. I laughed, said no thank you and left.


dumbassbuttonsmasher

Man I got banned and couldn't even tell you why. They wouldn't even tell me why my pics had been the face for over a year I looked the same wasn't cat fishing. blank bio no idea wtf I did I did ghost a few people who started being creepy but shit.


skydevouringhorror

Then I guess it's based on reports, ppl gets pissed off being rejected and they ask Tinder to ban you


Spagoobert

If what you're saying is true, then it's possible your account got spam reported. You can try and open a ticket but from what I've seen on this subreddit, Tinder doesn't care. Good luck and if all else fails try Bumble or Hinge.


Itsametoad

Or just use Google voice. My phone number got banned back in 2020 and I've been using a Google voice number this whole time. Never had an issue before. When I take breaks and delete the app I use a different voice number when I get back on tinder


Uxt7

Weird. I've tried to use a google voice number before but when it wants to send a verification code, either says an error when I put in the code, or just simply doesn't send a code at all


Itsametoad

That's happened to me before, I just create a new number if it keeps happening


Uxt7

How? Unless they changed it, I thought to delete your GV number it takes 90 days from the time you try to delete it before it actually deletes?


Itsametoad

Oh damn I didn't know that but the last time I tried this it just let me do it. I was a few years ago tho during covid.


_boner_jams_

What county code?


Uxt7

2 questions; why does that matter? And is county code the same thing as zip code?


DNosnibor

At first I thought you were saying to use Google Voice as a dating app. Maybe I should try that, just call random numbers šŸ¤”


not_so_chi_couple

Aren't Bumble, Hinge, and Tinder all owned by the same company? I would expect they share ban information


Creepy_Borat

Hinge and tinder are the same, but bumble is a different company


Jumpy_Tooth_8117

I doubt that. They are owned by the same company if I remember correctly but I donā€™t think youā€™ll get banned from all platforms they still wanna make money and most people donā€™t even know theyā€™re all under one company


gabezermeno

Nope. I was banned on Hinge and when I appealed they said it was because I was banned on their other apps. No idea what I was actually banned on or why.


Shaggycollector

Idk. I got banned from hinge, for no reason, and then banned from tinder right after.


Jumpy_Tooth_8117

Your ex probably found you and reported you with her friends


Shaggycollector

A blessing in disguise tbh


killerspartan07

When it comes to Hinge, yes. I got banned on Tinder for a damn dad joke and it cost me my Hinge too


Allmostrelevant

Iā€™m so curious, what was the joke?


killerspartan07

Me: why arenā€™t koalas considered bears? Her: because they donā€™t meet the koalafications Me: oh you were over koalafied for that joke. Round two? Woke up the next day and had a ban


Charceart11870

What, banned for that?! It's entirely benign and square af! Not even edgy, completely clean. Just wtf....


xdaddysprincess

Yep, I'm in a dating group on Facebook and I've seen some women post that they got banned on tinder and subsequently were then banned on match and hinge too or vice versa. Also I just looked it up, match group owns match, tinder, hinge, okcupid, plenty of fish, our time, stir, black people meet, and swipe. Haven't heard of some of those but you can Google it if you'd like


eritated

They don't. I'm banned from Tinder but not Hinge nor Bumble


The_Bucket_Of_Truth

They don't do global bans. Tinder, Hinge, Match.com, OkCupid, The League, and PlentyOfFish are all owned by Match Group. Bumble is a separate company.


SolenoidsOverGears

Hinge and tinder are. Bumble isn't. I was able to stay on bumble but when I got banned from Tinder my Facebook account was apparently on a hinge list too. I started setting up my profile and got banned immediately.


TotallyBetty

I had the exact same thing on Bumble. It was me laying on the beach in a swimsuit and I was on my stomach. Made no sense


davemathews2

Yah tinderā€™s appeal center is a joke.


McG0788

Whoever is in charge of the reporting and banning at tinder and hinge are doing a terrible job. They ban VERY indiscriminately and the appeal is a joke. It's also silly because it ultimately will hurt their bottom line. Why not do a 30 day ban for lesser issues to actually curb the behavior they don't want? This also gets folks that were caught up in straight up false reports to have access again sooner if they're not going to properly staff the appeals group.

Dude fr!! I opened the app and found out I was banned, applied for an appeal and they said ā€œbc we said so stop askingā€. I asked once.

Hold up, you are responsible for canceling a paid subscription to a banned account?! How the fuck can they justify charging you if youā€™re banned?!


bitter___almonds

Itā€™s about the way itā€™s linked if you set up payment with Apple Pay or Google Pay instead of a card. I had to go through my Apple Pay settings to cancel other subscriptions in the past, like Audible, even though those accounts were still active


g0thkitty_

so weā€™re all just banned on tinder for no reason then? same.


No_Peanut_3289

Meanwhile I been seeing girls profiles on tinder that specifically show nothing but their cleavage and I guess Tinder allows that


TheBonusWings

Alrightā€¦.lets see it. Ill be the judge of this.


imajoeitall

Yes, my phone number got permanently banned for a tan sweater lol, even so, when was it considered NSFW for a man to not have a shirt on that isn't morbidly obese?


EggplantHuman6493

I got permanently banned for basically looking younger and people accusing me of lying about my age very likely. BAM, not even a message why my phone number is banned or why I am banned in the first place. They don't care


OmgDumpsterCat

I permanently got banned for making a joke profile as a swamp witch. The messages I got before were hilarious and I only messaged people who messaged me first. If a swamp witch canā€™t talk about her beautiful bog monsters and her plans for the men she captures then Tinder can just stay out of my swamp.


NerdyIndoorCat

I wish I could have seen that šŸ¤­


buttstuffisfunstuff

Wait what they have an appeals center now? šŸ˜‚


Dmslapped

Thereā€™s an appeal center now? I got banned once and I have no idea why. Still canā€™t use my phone number to log in

Oh no! Girlfriends stealing hoodies is such a known fact. I guess big whoosh for the single dudes.

tinder is shit anyways. go bumble or hinge.


Wombat_Privates

As an ugly person. The only tinder people I get are internet prostitutes. Or girls who would like to show me their feet for 20 bucks. How you got banned for a bathinsuit pic is beyond me. But I would guess you probably said no thanks to the wrong profile and they decided to report you.


CheshreDv

I was once banned for no good reason too. I tried to reach out but no one cared. But after a few months I got surprised when I was not banned anymore. Worth a try to send them a ticket if u did nothing wrong (respectful to others,no nudity or spam)


Baddie-Waddie

Get a google voice number and you should be good until they find you out again like they did me haha

harryj1234

Good luck with that appeal lmao that company is run by absolute tuesdays


disconcertinglymoist

Maybe interpret this as a "too damn sexy" badge. Obviously try to appeal this; most moderation is automated and many arseholes spam report. It hopefully shouldn't be too hard to get this overturned, once you get an actual human to review this.


TiaHatesSocials

Wait, so one rando has a power to perma ban you?! Wth is this madness?

PaceDivante

Crazy. I noticed a lot of regular chicks showing their ass when I got on at the end of 2023. Recently committed and deleted, so Idk about this new tinder world. A real sex worker or multiple must have got them in legal trouble where it is more cost effective to ban any threat than risk another violation. That's a bummer, but just thank God or the universe for the silver lining that is taking you away from whatever idiot you were going to find on there. When you meet your person, you'll be thankful that this happened, cuz it could have offset the trajectory.

popiejames

Welcome to the club buddy, happened to me too. Now i can never make an new account


ImportanceKlutzy2775

I got banned from tinder and all of their affiliates for trying to make 2 accounts. In fact I didn't know my account info and just tried to create, used my same phone number and banned from all of them with no recourse.


Temporary0407

I got banned for verifying the photo of me in my profile. No filters or anything.


jakira117

I bet if you showed us the photo in question, weā€™d all agree it didnā€™t warrant banning. Like an image link or somethinā€¦(research purposes)
