"My account didn't get shut down." - But why not yours?

Seems the account got suspended.

Think my account has been flagged sadly!

bowmessage Sep 28, 2021 View on HN

oof, how was that ultimately resolved? Hopefully a warning from support and a re-enabled account?

Same. Currently locked out of my own account due to hackers and support has been a bit painful to deal with.

They suspended my account, reactivated it and then suspended it again for not having an associated email address.

Seems like the account was suspended shortly after being reinstated.

anybody else get "Account suspended?"

I got my account blocked for no reason and they required my ID to resume access. Apparently I don't trust that at all and registered for a new account with an alias email. They unlocked my primary account without me doing anything after a few days. So my suggestion is to disregard it.

I thought my old account is flagged.
