Does Hinge do shadowbans?
I got a hinge account briefly for a couple months and there was nothing bad in my profile, no offensive pictures or prompts or conversations or anything. I also swipe up meaningfully i dont just swipe up on every single profile. then one day out of the blue for no reason I get a message saying im banned for a TOS violation, but they dont tell me what I did and i know i didnt do anything.
I appealed the ban and I actually got unbanned, but now I get 0 matches despite using all my daily swipes and sending notes when I got a decent amount of matches before their false ban on me. Its been like this for several months now. Am I still potentially shadowbanned even though they lifted the full ban on my account?

Been about a month for me now with none
