Reasons for a ban in the Instagram and ways to unlock it

What should I do if I have blocked an account in Instagram? With this issue often come to forums users who previously violated the rules of the social network, and lost access to it. We will give answers and advice on how to avoid the ban in Instagram, and what you need to do to get your page back.

Why are they blocking the account in Instagram?

Accounts are blocked very often, because not all users follow the social network rules. The reasons for the ban fall into two categories:

• incorrect account management;
• illegal promotion of the profile.

Under incorrect management (account, profile) administration means:

• Publication of other people's photos under their own name without the permission of the author of the photo, or the person (people) depicted.
• Laying out erotic and pornographic records, on which there are naked uncovered parts of the body (the user himself can disguise intimate places and avoid the ban).
• Photos and videos on which there are acts of violence, racism and discrimination. This rule applies to all social networks, including Instagram.
• Active propagation of harmful diets and anorexia.
• Leasing or selling an account can also lead to a lockout.

Illegal promotion of the profile is the most common cause of the ban. It includes the following:

• Excess of limits. Any user for promotion is given no more than 20 subscriptions and 60 marks "I like" per hour.
• Mass comments under other people's notes (often strangers), which do not carry a semantic character, offend users, offend their honor and dignity.

Instagram Terms

Terms of use Instagrams state that:

1. A social network is allowed to use people over 13 years of age.
2. It is strictly forbidden to publish photographs, videos and stories on which violence is recorded, naked body parts, discriminating and unlawful elements that incite conflict and interracial discord and violate intellectual property rights.
3. Users can get a lifetime ban with subsequent removal of the account if they offend, ridicule, annoy and intimidate other people, impersonate individuals and legal entities that are not, and disclose other confidential information.

Blocked account in Instagram. What to do and how to return?

First you need to find out whether there is a temporary lock or a lifetime ban. How to understand this? If this is the first option, then a message will appear on the screen that your actions are contrary to the rules of the social network, and some of the features will be temporarily unavailable. For example, you can not put a few hours of likes, leave comments, publish new records. This is a blocking action.

The second temporary ban is the loss of access to the profile from one day to a week. About the decision and the reasons you will be notified in an electronic message, or via SMS. Here the best option is to wait. If the letter contains the contacts of the person who filed a complaint against your page, you can contact him personally, and try to solve the problem. In case of consent, he can notify the administration of a peaceful resolution, and you will be returned access.

Lifetime lockout occurs after 3 temporary, or if the user through his illegal actions caused irreparable harm to emotional health, reputation, material condition of a person (and so on), published acts of violence, provoked a violent conflict and insulted people.

What not to do to avoid being blocked

The answer is simple. In order not to get blocked, you need to follow social network rules, not to offend people, not to disclose their personal data, not to ridicule publicly anyone, not to use the bot-nakrutok services, not to promote violence and discrimination, upload only author's photos under your real profile, not publish pornography.

How to block an account in Instagram itself

You can even permanently block an account in Instagram itself. It is enough to break the rules repeatedly, or ask the administration to ban the page under the pretext that it was taken over by fraudsters.
