Hello,
I was also blocked on Grindr, I had my account for 10 years without any issues. And since I report escorts, that probably didn't sit well. So I can no longer log in. History and contacts lost ... great!
Even creating a new account, the same thing happens.
Who could guide me, thanks.

Configuration: iPhone / Safari 13.0.5

If you stopped reporting escorts at the same time, if you don't want them, don't solicit them, but stop erasing the work of some.

  Most are not escorts but crooks... it's time for you to realize that ????

  But we don't reach out to them, we just come across them, that's all. Moreover, it's their accounts that should be blocked and not the one who reports, since Grindr's terms of service state that prostitution is prohibited!

Hello guys! Same issue! And here's what those assholes are telling me

11.3 Grindr reserves the right to refuse or suspend access to any user, for any reason or no reason, and without notice.

So say goodbye to Grindr and ban the AI!!!

  I don't find it very legal, especially since I have absolutely nothing to blame myself for...
  Anyway

    The same ... However, on my iPad I was able to create an account again, so it really does block iPhones with their IMEI! No big deal, I'll find it on Hornet and Bordeaux ^^

    I can't do it on iPad or iPhone
    It's frustrating
    We pay and get kicked out like dogs
    If you have a solution ... let us know

I just had the same issue even though I haven't done anything wrong. My profile has been banned twice, and I'm wondering what I should do...
I have an iPhone, and even with my second address, I don't know how to create a new profile. Are we going to be unblocked?

Unfortunately, I'm also blocked for no valid reason!!!

I read in another post that it could be a third party reporting false information!! In short...

App to ban!!! Maybe they'll reconsider their ways of doing things!!!

  I confirm.. I pay for a year’s subscription, banned for no reason 3 months later, no response, no refund, and no possibility to create a profile with another email address or to use a VPN...

    If we get banned, do we risk something in court or elsewhere to know?

    Seriously? Grindr still doesn't have a solution to their automatic ban bug?! The only option is to change phones and create a new account because the old one was hacked... And this just to get banned again for no reason?
    For those who have paid subscriptions, I advise you to block the automatic withdrawals because they will continue to charge you without giving any explanations, nor even offer you a solution. This bug affects a whole set of companies that relied on servers that have been hacked and irreparably damaged, among these companies: Hornet; Tinder; Meetic... essentially dating apps using geolocation.

There is absolutely no moderation on Grindr, including in terms of prostitution. Reported profiles are never banned. Many are sent by Grindr itself. Moreover, this app is an advertising dump and the majority of profiles are scams...

  I was just banned this morning on November 1, 2020, a few minutes after politely refusing a solicitation from a couple lol... It's impossible to contact them because the page refreshes every 10 seconds and I only have time to write a few words.
  It's completely arbitrary, based on who you are... So I uninstalled Grindr and I'm switching to Scruff :-)

    Think like me and report to Google by giving the app 1 star in the play store and denouncing the app for its abuses.
    
    Thank you.

    Good idea, I hadn't thought of that. Thank you, I will take your advice :-)

Good evening,

There is no miracle solution, only Grindr can do something.

  Unfortunately, even when sending messages we receive no response at all, I would like to know the reason for this problem. It's becoming quite peculiar!

  No, I already tried, they automatically block the phone.

  I tried, the same page appears with the same message. You are banned with your IMEI number. So unless you change your mobile phone, you can no longer use Grindr. It's the same for Scruff, even though Scruff doesn't ban as blindly as Grindr does, but if you are banned on Scruff, only changing your mobile allows you to use the app again.

  On iPhone, you just need to uninstall the app in iPhone storage, delete the Grindr password, and then reinstall it with a new email address. It will ask for a phone number, but you can enter the same one as before. This is not a blocker. However, you will lose the history...

  Change your phone and create a new account. The serial number (IMEI) has been blocked. Even if you delete and re-download Grindr, it won't work!

  You have to learn everything here lol. I was banned for no reason. It's impossible to recreate an account. After thinking about several solutions, I found one. It's not with the IMEI number, that's irrelevant. When you're banned, Grindr installs a file on your phone that doesn't get deleted. The only solution is to do a factory reset. It erases all data as if your phone were new. So it's better to do this with an old phone you might have kept, or you can save your photos and videos beforehand. And yes, I know it's annoying, you have to reinstall all your apps and everything, but that's the way it is. Let me know if it works for you. Kisses, Aurélien

  Hello, I have the same problem and I did exactly what you said, but nothing works, I'm still banned, impossible to recreate an account. Plus, I've had my phone for 2 months so it's certain that I won't be changing it...

  Hello,
  In fact, if accounts on Grindr get banned, it's because people have reported you, people who don't accept a refusal, for example. It's easy to get someone banned by giving a made-up excuse. Unfortunately, that's life. It happened to me a few years ago. But unlike you at that time, I could recreate an account with a different address.
