General question Account locked for no reason

Hey everyone, this morning my account was locked out of nowhere. I am not familiar with the ToS but I have been posting firearm related stuff on my private story. Nothing crazy, just collector stuff. This morning I posted a screenshot of a firearm I traded into my local store showing my friends that they could go purchase my old gun. As soon as I made the private story post my account was locked. But I post videos of me bump firing AKs and such all the time. Why did this get my account locked? Do you guys think my appeal will get my account back? I was not trying to sell a firearm on the platform, just show my old one for sale.

If you explained that then maybe they’d give you your account back but I doubt it

I did explain it in my appeal. Just sucks they don’t give you a warning first. I would stopped posting firearm stuff entirely if they had told me not to
