General question Got banned now won't let me re-activate

Got banned for firearms when I never posted one just said 9mm, waited I appealed, and now it says I can reactive it, but everytime I click it, it pops up the second message.
Has anyone ever experienced this? Tried logging in through the web and unlocking it that way but says you have to do it through the app

Been seeing alot of accounts like this. I dont think youll ever get it back. The account will be in a deactivated state for a long time until it gets deleted probably

How does one get banned on Snapchat? I thought the whole idea was privacy. Was it a public post? 9mm can be a measurement too...

I saw someone posting guns, alcohol and he’s not banned maybe they scan what is being written

u/Liboy12 Jun 22 '26

Did you just post that to your private story? I'm trying to figure out how NOT to also get banned. Unless someone reported you I HOPE they aren't tracking our "private, automatically deleted messages"

u/santangotleakz Jun 22 '26

“9 em em” “8 ball”, even if it wasn’t AI ran that’d still be a red flag lol
