Instagram Account Banned - Help Required

Happened to me too. Last night it was gone, this morning back again, very strange. Would be interested to know if they're firing out warning shots or if it was a bug.

Good question!

It seems that a lot of teenagers were affected. I mean with all due respect I think the majority of them are not blackhatters. But you are right we still need to be careful.. Who knows what Instagram is thinking.

There was a glitch on Instagram which has been solved. So everybody can calm down and get back to business.
 
Update: Instagram has confirmed there was a glitch yesterday afternoon/evening. This was not a Terms of Service/Spam dragnet. Regular, non-commercial accounts were caught by this. If BH people did too, it's just coincidence.

if you search twitter, a lot of innocent, non-commercial Instagram users are getting their accounts deleted today. (i see a lot of teenagers for example) it's possible your account wasn't targeted at all. it's possible this is a bug. i'm looking for more info.

i have a more serious problem. i am not sure if anyone here knows the account but up until 4 days ago i used to be boobsio on instagram. i have collected a ton of great images of girls with COVERED big boobs and posted them. it resulted in 27k clean and not botted followers that actively commented about 40 comments on each image. i invested heavily into this account in time and money since september 2012 and was on that game every day in order to be able to someday monetize. 4 days ago i got the same message without any warning or option to inform my users of going offline, redirect them or somehow save them. now there is a big problem in the room because i wont let this just sit on me like this. before i propose any drastic options that could lead to serious consequences to the instagram - facebook team who takes off these accounts, i like to ask if anyone knows if in that case there is something to go over the legal way. again, the images were meticioulously sorted for being 16+ not one nipple or offensive image. all of it just clean busty girls. the best ones on ig. thank you for opinions/ advice

Same thing happened to me, not anything nude, everything was perfectly related to their TOS, but still got flagged and banned.

Time to change Ig niche :P
 
Sorry to hear that. What is it exactly that you can do to FB/Instagram? A bit confused here.

Sorry to hear that, dude. Don't think there is much you can do legally or otherwise. If you really set it up to monetize, I think there are methods that are way less time consuming. But I really do feel your pain - almost a year of work down the drain because some loser probably reported you and someone on the Instagram team shut your lights, most likely without even doing a thorough check of your content. What a bunch of clowns...
 
Thanks all for the vibes :-) Learned a lot here.

He, like me, got banned for nothing. I do not reccomend to try growing in that niche. All my pics were totaly legit, not any nude, best quality, always getting the permision of other users. Anyway I still got banned.
And I figured out that the one reporting are probably the other competitors from the same niche. And since Instagram Team (team?) is full of random people, it just depends on your luck and who is gonna check your profile. Just because I was in that niche, even if I was totaly legit I still got banned... and Instagram Support will never answer any of your tickets .
