Account open for 2 minutes receives lifetime ban without explanation or appeal
Throw away account.
A few weeks ago, I started the process of joining POF. I was there to look more than meet (moving to a new small town) so I uploaded a generic profile and pic. About two minutes after giving POF my phone number to POF account was blocked and removed. No explanation, no nothing. I had not sent a single message to anyone.
My profile had one sentence of generic (innocent/harmless) stuff, and the pic was one of nature, tree and water. I waited a few days assuming I would receive some sort of notification about something but that never happened. A few days after that i tried again and again profile was banned immediately after my number was uploaded. No explanation offered.
I found a doc to submit asking for help. more than one week later still no reply. I send in a second similar but different doc that I did get a reply from telling me the other dept would answer in a few days. A few days arrives and they (no name and no title of the sender) informed me after careful consideration I did break the rules of service, and my phone number is now permanently banned. They will not revisit the topic it is not open for discussion. I am 100% confident I did nothing wrong but if i did accidently, lets chat about it like adults do.
Does anyone have any experience with this crap? I'm moving to a small town, and I hope that POF could be helpful making friends and more. All replies and suggestions welcome and appreciated.
