Had a very large instagram account banned, and when I appealed the ban the woman told me it was for "atficially collecting likes". Just beware because most panels throw the likes on so quick it's way too easy for IG to detect. If a user complains and they check your account your gone.

I highly doubt it that it was because of likes.. Probably 80% of big pages are using those services without any problem.

I have one question. If IG bans the accounts like this than I can fuck up many accounts... What if I have that software for sending likes on users accounts and the user did not know me or did not buy the likes?
 
Gets worse, when I appealed the ban, before they would even talk to me they needed my mugshot with my my Instagram user name and my name... Only to then be told there was no way my account would come back.
 
Try to convince them that you have not bought the likes and that someone who doesn't want you to make big acc did that. Maybe this is the most stupid reason but why not try it :D
 
Based on my experiences, usually you don't get banned for purely collecting likes. IG doesn't seem to care much about likes. BUT, if they send you a recaptcha but your bot keeps running without you passing the recaptcha, that may lead to disabling of the account
 
The email and the message was quite specific. Also it was the only thing I was doing. Last month all the like servers seemed to stop. I think they have a war on likes and it's just starting.
 
How many likes did you buy, and more importantly, was it from a provider here on BHW?
 
Other members here and outside already had this problem and were able to recover the account sending the photo. Its a general email so probably it isnt about buying likes, but something that you did they think its shady or lots of reports.
 
Technically, buying likes and followers is against IG's T&C. But they don't really enforce it because they know they need the real and fake users to stay on their platform. Even Facebook admitted recently that 2-3% of their users are fake.

But if someone flags an account for abuse, then IG has to do something. They may or may not follow up on a complaint email. But perhaps someone is jealous of OP's account, sent a nasty email to IG, and therefore someone had to enforce the rules.

Just my guess at this point.
 
I sent the photo and then the woman replied saying that by buying likes I had gone against community guidelines sent a link to a non existent page and stated initially I would not get my account back and now won't reply to my emails. I used various panels over the last few months and a was adding a few hundred slow likes to reach post about 5 posts a day
 
Can't imagine they just block/ban you because of buying likes as it would be very easy to send fake likes to competitors to get them blocked/banned..
 
Holy shit, is this for real?
As other OP says this would mean that sooo many accounts would be banned in the future...and that many could just buy likes for competitors and have them fucked over.
In any case IG itself caused all this crap with their non-sense algorithm and I believe it'll lead to the death of the app in the future.

Additionally, could you please let us know from which panel you normally purchased?
 
I was using hypersmm ( worst customer service of all time ) and instant-fans , anyone got any recommendations for high quality likes with API access?
 
Thats not the only the reason, cause I'd send 1 million likes to pages I want shut down
 
I can tell you for sure, Thats NOT the reason.
Buyin likes not get accounts shut down, else people can use this for spam/ fraud ..
 
You did not get banned for buying likes. If social networks banned for that, everyone would buy likes for their competitors and get any page/account taken down.
 
Did you look at the screenshot? Did they put in about buying likes for no good reason then?
