Grindr ban on Android?

I have received a ban on Grindr, the social networking app for homos. I accept no idea why. I have contacted them by email twice now, and no reply.

If anyone could offering me advice or where I'm going wrong I'd be most grateful. I've done nil whatever to violate their terms of service, nothing inappropriate has been posted etc.

Many thanks 10

    I've washed nothing whatsoever to violate their terms of service

    I hate to say it, but that's usually not the instance.

    Have you tried Twitter or Facebook ?.

    A cursory look at their website suggests you can raise a back up ticket as well, so maybe try that ?

    There'south as well this ..

    Our Review squad must ensure that all profile content adheres to Grindr'southward Contour Guidelines. Certain terms, phrases and even photos will result in a permanent ban from Grindr

  • Thank y'all then much. Their email service is seemingly somewhat lacking so I shall try the above links. I don't accept Twitter, simply I do Facebook. So shall try that also. Many thanks! :)

    And after a quick snoop through Google information technology does seem that Grindr are more than than frequently slightly likewise cracking to ban users for having done really very little. Disconcerting to say the least...

  • They don't let any naughty pictures and they are strict on whatsoever adult text.

  • They don't allow any naughty pictures and they are strict on whatsoever developed text.

    None of which my profile independent.

  • Hmmm, odd then unless somebody reported a individual bulletin.

    None of which my contour contained.

    You might discover it'southward a particular word you use all the time and don't retrieve twice nearly - do you use "man" a lot on a solar day to day footing ?

    I suspect if a website is trying to be "respectable" then they may well take that as a no-become discussion.

    If that does turn out to be the reason you can try to entreatment to them and explicate it was a misunderstanding and that you meant no malice equally it'southward a word you use betwixt yourself and your friends. It's worth a punt I suppose.

  • You might find it'southward a item word y'all use all the fourth dimension and don't think twice about - do you use "homo" a lot on a day to day ground ?

    I suspect if a website is trying to be "respectable" and then they may well have that as a no-go word.

    If that does turn out to exist the reason you lot can endeavour to entreatment to them and explain it was a misunderstanding and that yous meant no malice as it's a word yous apply between yourself and your friends. It's worth a punt I suppose.

    I doubtfulness that's it myself. But who knows.

    Probably something deadening, and technical.

    Very truthful. Often, when the ban hammer comes downwardly for "no reason" information technology'due south normally the silliest, most obscure thing y'all've given no second thought to.

  • I'5 had the exact same problem! I got banned last week for no reason whatever! i dont send whatever pictures at all letalone crude ones, and I dont employ crude linguistic communication! despite emailing them twice, iv had no reply! If I'm non gonna exist unbanned thats fair enough, merely I wish they'd do the polite thing of letting me know why i was banned in the first identify!

  • Even if you lot put 'fun' in your contour they ban you these days as a lot of guys this this in identify of that 3 letter S word.

  • Fifty-fifty if you put 'fun' in your profile they ban you these days equally a lot of guys this this in identify of that 3 letter South discussion.

    What is due south**? I take no thought, is it sod?

  • I find it ironic they don't allow certain language or pictures .
    The app exists to give randy men a quick gear up of bumfun with whoever is close by.
