This is a follow-up to my post about getting my admob account perma-banned and getting the appeal rejected due to Google's aggressive crackdown methods

I think everyone of us who has been affected by this need to get in touch with a Google employee working in the Adsense/Admob team on LinkedIn and escalate the situation.. we can't let an aggressive AI algorithm perma-ban us and dictate terms to us..

Especially in my case because my account was only created on July 7th and they should certainly have sent a warning before taking such a drastic step on a brand new account.

I recently saw u/Rich-Vanilla-7653 post about how they got their ad accounts banned for just generating 8 impressions..

I think it's time we all teamed up and escalated this to Google and get our source of livelihood back.

I'm really new to app publishing and I just can't fathom that Google just straight up disabled my Admob account permanently (for invalid traffic) without a single warning..

Mainly because I clicked on my live ads inadvertently.. I even made multiple in-app purchases to progress quickly through my game (while testing) to ensure that I don't click on my own ads by mistake but it happened by mistake a few times.. which would have hardly generated a few cents at most.

Yes, I'm aware that I did not register my test devices on admob but surely Google should have cut me some slack! Taking an extreme measure like straight up going for a permanent ban is just too harsh and severe..

They could have given me one warning, they could have disabled my account temporarily..but no, they had to take the most extreme measure possible..

It's been 8 years since I graduated and I've been without a job all these 8 years.. tried so many things (freelancing, dropshipping, YouTube channel etc.) and all of them failed miserably. I have poured my heart and soul into my game for the past 4 months.. even borrowed funds from multiple sources.. and Google couldn't even give me 1 warning!? Not one!?

Im utterly shattered and devastated..

So basically, im about to release a game similar to Screwdom 3D (designed in Unity ) and we have safe area enabled to prevent the notch/dynamic island interfering with game elements.

But unfortunately, this is causing my game UI elements to overlap with each other (noticed this in iPhone 17). Not only is this an aesthetic issue but it is causing my pause button to overlap over other UI elements which is making it tough to press the pause button.

Im not facing any such problems on Android and when I spoke to my dev, she told me if she has to turn off safe area, she has to do it for the whole unity project which means turning off safe area for Android too which is working perfectly fine.

Any workarounds for this much appreciated. TIA!

Hey there,

Like most Gplay devs in India, I successfully submitted my application few days ago but still there's no sign of an approval.

I badly want to test IAP's on my Game's open test release so I need access to my payment system.

Is anybody familiar with any billdesk employee on LinkedIn with whom I can reach out to and they can help me hasten the review process?

Please sound off in the comments below. TIA!
