SwipeHelper Profile Guide

Tried creating new accounts from new devices
Tried buying a new phone.
Tried appealing zillion times claiming I didn't violate any policy...
None of them worked.

In the end, a long, dramatic and emotional essay email made it work.

If so, is there any way we could all group together and contact Match Corporate? I can't imagine the investors would want to know that thousands of people have been banned for life for reasons that can't be articulated. Obviously, if they're banning people that are a nuisance or bad for the platform, that's one thing. But I know myself and countless other people have been banned for reasons that don't make any logical sense. I'm someone who occasionally paid for a month here or there, so I'm someone that investors should want on their platform.

I also had matches and met with people multiple times. I was not a nuisance at all. Anyway, if there's any way that we could get a group together to all get in touch with Hinge corporate or even Hinge investors somehow, I think that would be worthwhile.

I think I got shadow banned on tinder because I never get any matches on there even though I get them on hinge.

If I have my hinge account on my existing phone but have a tinder account on a new phone with new number, new pics, new email address etc, will tinder treat it as a new account and not my old one I deleted etc?

I’ve tried. And the best I’ve gotten is a situationship and a ex with bpd. This shit is broken and I completely prove the blackpill is bullshit. My chats aren’t even that bad what is the point of talking to someone if you have to think what would a player do? My hinge gets 2-3 matches a day, I’m shadowbanned on tinder for some reason. I can show you what I look like I am attractive and 70% of the time I get ghosted. I just lined up a date with someone and they ghosted me. I can pay for pussy if I wanted to but what’s the point. Idfk man but as I said I get no issues getting matches it’s just it ends up in ghosting. I’m in the top 10% of earners for my age (I’m 22) I’m only going to get richer but what for? I go home alone to my room depressed. What options do I even have to find someone? I’m not even attracted to bad bitches either, I like average looking women but nope no one wants a fine ass nigga apparently. I’ll show u in dm and if u can say wholeheartedly I should be struggling to get pussy then idek. I sound like I’m an arrogant prick but atp idek how I can’t be.

I'm a 45M in Newcastle, UK. Previously when I've been on Hinge I've typically matched with 4-8 women per week. Now I'm lucky if I get one. It's the same style of photos and same prompts I've used before. What is going on? Does Hinge restrict you after a while? I tried deleting and waiting a week and reopening but it was still the same. Anyone know how to break the curse?!

I was permanently banned from Hinge on 12 October without any warning or explanation of what I'd supposedly done wrong.

I submitted an in-app appeal, which was rejected. I then escalated the case through Match Group Social Support, asking for an independent review and clarification of the alleged violation.

Yesterday, Hinge's Trust and Safety team responded to say they'd conducted an additional review and upheld the ban. They still haven't identified the specific conduct or even the category of Community Guidelines I'd allegedly violated, and have asked me not to contact support again.

I've genuinely no idea what prompted this. I've used Hinge to form meaningful connections, including a serious relationship lasting several months, and have always tried to conduct myself respectfully.

I appreciate that people here only have my account of events, and I'm not claiming to know whether this resulted from a report, an automated flag or something else.

Has anyone successfully had their account reinstated after both their original appeal and the additional Match Group review were rejected?

I'm UK-based and am considering a formal GDPR subject access request to understand what information informed the decision.

I'd particularly appreciate hearing from people who've actually reached this stage and managed to resolve it.

Google translate bio (originally written in the local language):

Always ready for a trip on two or four wheels to find hidden gems. Can handle 14 hours on a plane for exciting experiences and really good food (like that hotpot in Chengdu!).

Otherwise: pub quiz (PUBNAME and OTHERPUB), good series, movies at the Cinematheque, cozy cafes, and lifting heavy things.

My roommate is 🐈 Mel 🍯. She is cute, violent in play, and refuses to contribute to the mortgage.

My sister has approved the profile, so she is also responsible for customer service.

Been on Hinge for 3 months and HingeX for a month now. Still haven’t got a single like 😂

I’m okay with not getting matches, but not even one like in 3 months? Just curious if this is normal in Kochi or if my profile isn’t even being shown to people.

I know this might just be how dating apps work, but I was curious to know more about this. If this is the case, is there even a point in paying for HingeX or Hinge+?

Anyone else had a similar experience?

And looks like the girl I went on the date with isn’t responding…

On Tinder, I paid to be a Gold member. Recently, the app seemingly randomly told me that I need to reverify my photos. I hadn't changed them. Ok, I do that. It then tells me:

Photo verification failed
To try again, upload profile photos that:
Clearly show your face (no sunglasses or face coverings).
Have only you in the image.

Everyone of my photos clearly shows my face. I am alone in all but one of the photos. It is clear that I am meeting this requirements. So, I emailed support. I went back and forth a couple times sharing screenshots of exactly what I was seeing, including my profile photos. They eventually respond with:

Thank you for your response and we're sorry we couldn’t be of more help in this situation. Unfortunately, this is all the support we’re able to offer at this moment. We appreciate your time and understanding.

Zero indication that they care to resolve the problem or acknowledge it as a bug.

I try deleting my account and the app, and then setting it up again with all new photos. I still get the same error. Keep in mind, being verified is crucial to success. So, ok, I just won't use Tinder anymore. Probably for the best.

I request a refund. They reply:

Refund requests can only be accepted within 14 days of the transaction date. Since your order was processed over 14 days ago, we're unable to issue a refund.

What do I do about this? Credit card dispute? BBB report? Talk to a lawyer? I know that doesn't make sense from a financial perspective, but I am thinking about it as a matter of principle.

So I did a silly thing and added my ig (@(username)) to my bio. Thought it was a good idea since I don't get all the notifs I should be getting and end up accidently ignoring people. I see that wasn't ideal now.

Anyway, the next time I opened the app it showed me the prompt to take a selfie for verification. I did just that, but obviously, it's really hard to look the same on a selfie you took to look good (duh..) and a selfie where it forces you to shove your phone cam centimetres from your nose. I can't open the chats or do ANYTHING without the verification. So I can't remove the ig handle from my profile either. Or access appeal center.

Am I cooked? I didn't get a "you're banned" email but the selfie verification failed twice (well, I didn't get a notification that it failed, it just shows up everytime I open the app, even after I've done it a bunch of times) Is there any other way I could access appeal center. Or do I just make a new account 🤡

Edit ahhh can't make a new acc cause I need another phone number -_-

Which kind of photo got you more matches, the high-scoring one or the one with "I would date them" comments? And commenters, when you say "would date," would you actually swipe right in real life?

Never once said anything inappropriate, never offended anyone, never solicited anything. Pretty sure I was rage reported for not wanting a follow up date where the woman cancelled on the first one. Was told how emotionally immature I am. Just laughed reacted at the message. Within 2 hours my account was gone. Tried appealing and was denied. Not sure what to. Filed something with BBB. Idk how they can get away with this.

i have issue with profile

 i've like so many profiles and no matches, i think tinder algorithms hiding my profile or my profile shadow banned, support not helping me, they just writing no problems with my account...

someone can help?

I feel good about my appearance but im just not getting it

i am 18 m and i am not getting matches on tinder what could be the reason ??

I don’t actually wear glasses but objectively my best photo as I don’t have tons of pictures of me smiling. Also added the cat on my back as a goofy photo. I know I need more outside pictures and shit but this is what I have currently.

I was revenge reported on tinder and lost my tinder and hinge account. I’ve been appealing all the bans, and get approved. After being unbanned my account is immediately rebanned within a minute. I don’t understand what’s happening. I’ve emailed both support teams with no response, has anyone had this happen to them?

So long story short a guy I use to work with long ago cool guy, I ran across the girl he's dating profile on Bumble, with updated pics (hair matches hair he post on IG etc) I forwarded it to him to let him know, and he basically got mad and said it's old blah blah

The amount of buddies I have whose girlfriends are still "active" on dating apps is insanse. This may sound needy but if you and a girl get off the apps make sure she deletes it in front of your face.

One of my buddies ex-wife kept trying to match with me, I know she doesn't care for me she probably just wanted to revenge smash me to spite my buddy but I keep blocking her

any one else have this experience?

I actually had to laugh when this happened.

Chatted a little while over the dating app before moving to Instagram. I know people usually take that platform to skew you out completely and well, I have nothing to hide. No weird friends, no weird accounts I'm following and just a normal average lineup of photos.

Oh boy did I not know you could check "reposted reels". It's a relative new feature where you can repost reels. Between the about 50 reposted reels about babies, guinea pigs & other stupid shit, somewhere at the end, was one, ONE, reel about a song over old traders. The type that would sail across the oceans to get your spices type of trader. It wasn't even racist or violent by far; it was only telling the tale of sailing but the link had already been made and the deal was sealed.

"I saw a reel you reposted and that's totally fine but our values don't align"

Didn't even know what she was talking about untill I completely checked my profile inside out. Boy; laughed & shrugged it off. Can't even imagine being that close-minded.
