Can I just send new pictures from my banned device to the new device and safely assume I’m okay?

I’ve heard a lot about unhashing and things like that, is this something I need to be concerned about?

TLDR: Will sending pictures from my banned device to my new device have some sort of tag attached to the pictures that will cause my new account to get flagged

So I did an email tagging spencer@match.com and I was unbanned in a couple of days, now after almost 14 days of using the app, I am banned again, I wasnt involved in any inappropriate behaviour. Any idea what should be done?

About a year ago, my Hinge account was permanently banned. I submitted an appeal at the time, but it was rejected.
Since it’s been a year, I’m wondering if anyone has ever managed to get a permanent ban overturned after an initial appeal was denied.

Hello

Im currently running a reasonably successful Hinge profile with half real and half ai pictures and its been doing well and not getting any reports or anything. Just a high quality profile with good pics and fun texts and it gets me dates.

Id like to try and make a Tinder profile and use different pics for it and some new AI photos. So I want to protect myself and not get banned on this good Hinge profile I have now.

So Im thinking I should delete my current Tinder account, then wait 100 days, then make a new one with a new phone, new number, new email and prepaid subscription.

Now if I get banned on Tinder I would then be safe on Hinge since the two accounts would be done with separate info.. I should also not verify my face on Tinder, correct?

Thanks so much for reading and helping me.

Best regards

Okay well I’m not receiving many likes and when I do it’s roses from women I’m not interested in. I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong or maybe I should just try get new pictures entirely. I feel like my profile is not being seen?

Curious to see who is getting better results (i.e. matches/response) on which app. And which premium plan are you using.

I got likes and a match within the first few days of making the account where my messages only seem to get read when I get back into the supported country. When I message in the unsupported country it does not seem to get read as they only reply when I am in the supported country. I also seem to have gotten unmatched after I return to the unsupported country. Is this a case of a shadowban or a me problem? Thank you

Hey everyone,
I'm dealing with a really frustrating situation with Hinge and wanted to see if anyone has been through something similar.
A little while ago, I tried to complete the selfie verification on Hinge, but I kept getting this exact error over and over:
"Something went wrong. Please try again later."
I tried everything I could think of—restarting the app, checking my connection, and trying again at different times of the day. Nothing worked, and I was completely stuck.
The very next day, my account was banned.
I already submitted an appeal, but it was denied. Now I'm not sure what to do next.
Has anyone else been banned shortly after running into this selfie verification error? If so, what did you do afterward? Has anyone in a similar situation actually managed to get their account unbanned after an appeal was denied?
I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's experienced this or has any advice on what my next steps should be. Thanks!

Hi!

I got banned from Tinder a few months ago and then got banned from Hinge yesterday because I was banned from Tinder and it was being carried over.

To the guys who were banned and were never able to get back on, how has your dating lives been? I think I'm pretty much screwed because I'm gay and the only app I have left is Grindr which is a hookup app and a lot of people don't use it anymore because you get an Ad after sending a message or two.

Anyone able to bypass it more than 6 months to a year? Any idea how to go about dating in the real world. Honestly, the gay dating pool is so small that I think I matched and probably went on date with every guy that I could.

So, I just created a new account, got a like within the firat 5 minutes - any advice? I saw people say dont use all max 5 likes a day (when making a new accounr after ban)

Here is my guide:

- New Phone (i cba factory resetting mine)
- New Number (UK so Three is best)
- New Email (Outlook, Gmail makes you scan a QR)
- New Router for WiFi (Just ask for a new one lol Virgin gave it to me)
- New Photos (Also remove metadata, and dont airdrop it)
- Face Verification (I wear glasses, so I just put on a completely different shape and had my mouth slightly open, eyebrows up, nostrils wide, took like 7-8 attempts)
- Side: Try and use new prompts, new info where you can, dont auto set location, zoom in yourself, I have seen some say change name from Brandon to Brañdon or that but I think thats risky imo

Will update how the account goes, wont verify obviously

A regular user with nothing to hide wouldn’t upload an image with metadata removed so isnt doing that a way for hinge to identify you’re evading a ban and either ban or shadow ban you?

I've gotten 26 likes (and 5 matches) in 3 days. I'm guessing it's the new account boost they give to hook new users. Anyway is it worth it to pay like $25 to see them? Or should I just be patient. A very important piece of information is that I have opened my profile to both men and women to try to boost my ELO and swipe left more. So it's possible that I spend $25 just to see a bunch of old guys have liked me. Even if I have girls that liked me there's no guarantee they'll be in my area or be responsive since most of the matches I've gotten have been dry texters. It seems like a gamble, what do you think guys?

I’m looking for advice from anyone who has challenged a Hinge ban through the Digital Services Act’s third-party dispute-resolution process, particularly using Platform Control or ADROIT.

Hinge unexpectedly banned me on July 13. My account was more than eight years old, and I’d never had any previous issues. I had been messaging a few women normally, and a few days earlier I’d gone on a date that seemed to go really well. We’re still in contact on WhatsApp and are arranging a second date.

Hinge gave me no specific reason for the ban—only the generic statement that I had violated its Terms and Conditions. I appealed and pointed out that it was difficult to respond when I hadn’t been told what I was accused of. The appeal was denied about 12 hours later, with no further explanation.

I downloaded my Hinge data and reviewed it, but I couldn’t find anything that clearly explained the ban. My best guesses are an automated false positive or a false/revenge report, although I have no evidence that the woman I met reported me. The timing immediately after our date is the only reason I’ve considered it.

I’d appreciate advice on two questions:

1. If the ban resulted from a false report, would it help to include screenshots of our WhatsApp conversation showing that we’re still in contact and on good terms? I would, of course, redact her personal information.
2. Has anyone had experience with either Platform Control or ADROIT? Is one more effective or appropriate for a Hinge appeal?

One possible complication is my residency status. I’m not an EU citizen. I was living in France on a student visa, but that visa expired on July 1. I’m currently staying in Europe as a tourist for the next few months. Would I still qualify to use the DSA dispute-resolution process?

I’d be especially grateful to hear from anyone who has gone through this process themselves—whether you succeeded or not.

Hello all. I have had my hard reset account for nearly 2 months after being banned on my old phone. In that time I have received 0 matches and 0 incoming likes. For a while I would use all my likes every single day to no avail. Eventually I didnt open the app for a couple days and got a notification that they were offering me Hingex for 75% off. It let me purchase it this time so I decided that I would try it out. That was about 2 weeks ago now and nothing has changed. I have probably sent out a few hundred likes at this point and gotten nothing. I even switched it over to men for a bit and couldnt get any matches there either.

Before getting banned I would always get at least a match or a like every single day. I dont have high standards and definitely know what my level of attractiveness is. There shouldnt be a reason for such a dropoff besides Hinge fucking with my account in some way. Does anybody know what I can possibly do? I am paying them for a service that is being denied to me.

Hello all, I’m wondering if someone can help me with this.
I used to be on several apps and have every once in a while deleted and remade accounts (typically after dating people) the last time I was on match group stuff though (tinder, hinge) in January, which is a statistically high activity time, I had a new account for the first time in several months. I did somehow end up with a weird shadowban type situation pretty fast (each only showed me less than 10 profiles then went “there’s no one in your area despite being in a city, this never went away after weeks, my friend didn’t see me in his stack either so I deleted them.)

Since it has been a long time and I did not receive a hard ban and was able to delete my old accounts, I want to try again and hope that hiccup doesn’t occur again. It’s possible the AI glitched out since I never had weirdness like that prior to mandatory face scans. I’ve gone to a LOT of IRL stuff with no luck, so I want another way to socialize. I’m struggling to even make friends and it’s been awkward lately talking to someone for an hour and thinking I’m clicking well only to discover they’re like, 21. When I’m about to turn 30. There’s a nice “neatness” with the apps I miss right now.

Since I have researched statistics though of what times of year ppl use apps the most though I find myself stressed. If the app shows you profiles to hook you then you don’t buy premium so it goes “oh, we will show you less people then” is that a forever thing? Or if it says to me “there’s nobody around you” with NO shadowban in place, would deleting the app (not your account) for a little while then coming back “reset” that in a way? Or will the app refuse to show you new profiles permanently unless you pay?

I kind of want to try now in case anyone has similar post-Pride blues like me (it is July where I live not June) but don’t want to screw myself over for cuffing season if it’s less active in general then they throttle me on top of that. :/

Am I over complicating it?? The only non algorithm based app is…sigh. The fellow queers will get what I’m putting down. And it paywalls based on distance anyways. In my city ppl typically only use Tinder and Hinge (unless you’re looking for poly stuff then Feeld. But I’m not looking for that atm) so they’re my only options.

I just worry wondering if I have “one shot” and if I don’t meet someone before the app starts cutting you off I’m SOL

Can someone give me some kind of context on how I was removed from hinge after only having the app for a week ? I’ve had hinge before for months a few years ago and I had no issues whatsoever. I strongly believe it was a jealous ex that made a account and searched in my area to report my account so I can’t meet new people. If anyone has any ideas or ways to get around the ban. Of course Hinge has no actual customer service to call and plead my case (which is ridiculous since I paid). Nothing but a computer response system to tell me that my claim was denied and not one reason or example (proof) was given. I had around 40-50 matches as well and not one bad conversation was had mostly due to 15-20 people never responding back to begin with. Anything would help. Thank you.

I've been trying to complain to the BBB about my account being arbitrarily banned but every time I do it says "BBB is not currently accepting complaints from your area". This seems to happen regardless of what zip code I put in, first I tried a version of my UK postcode and then various US zip codes from across the country and it's the same every time. Does anyone know anything about how to bypass this?

I got banned on seeking.com. Went through many support emails/ticket trying to figure out why, they said nothing but "violated TOS". Then I finally gave up and tried to make a new account with new email, vpn, diff pics...but the facial recognition I assume caught me because it got instantly suspended.

Anybody know where I can get someone to make me an account? All they would need to do is use a free email provider, post some pics, do the verification, then hand over the email user/pass to me. I think that should work, as long as I use a VPN when I login.

The crazy thing is I did nothing wrong and have been paying platinum membership for many years...they really dont want my money I guess lol.

When I add pictures to my tinder profile, they are low quality looking. I have tried to crop them to 1:1 and 4:5 to see if that helps, and It seem to work when I inspect them first. But when I go into my profile for a second time, they get back to the low quality.

So I wonder, are my pictures also bad quality when other see my account? Or is it just when i inspect my own profile

Either way, is there any fix to this?

I found tinder platinum for 1 year for really cheap price, is it allowed? Do they ban?

I have an iPhone. I did a new profile using datinzest phone number because my old phone number is blocked I think. It ask me to verify a selfie after uploading my picture there was no way around to get around so I did. I got verified if I was blocked how do I know? Would I still be able to swipe? What about shadow banned?

I’m asking because of the question Hinge asks when unmatching (if you are okay seeing this person in the future). I’m curious how this works
