r/OkCupid

Me and my friend went to a speed dating event and pretended like we didn't know each other. When we crossed tables I checked yes on him and he checked yes on me. We wanted to see if some of these organizations are doing this to get people to come back.

Tell me how when we got our results back via email we didn't match lol. Not saying every company does this but it's what I suspected was going on with some of these. For the high ticket price you pay (without a free drink mind you) you think this kind of stuff wouldn't happen.

Have a news channel currently working on a story on this so feel free to tell me any strange vibes you have had.

Hey everyone, I created a new OkCupid account on the night of October 1. The account was working normally and I received the usual account-creation and like notifications.

Before going to bed, I had not liked, matched with, or messaged anyone.

The next day I discovered I had been logged out. The app initially gave me “General Authentication Error -1006,” and when I checked the website it showed that my account had been banned. This appeared to have happened while I was at work since the last notification I got was at around 9 AM.

I submitted an appeal through OkCupid’s official appeal process. About five days later, I received a response saying they reviewed the account, determined that I violated the Terms or Community Guidelines, and that the ban would remain in place. They did not say what rule, profile content, activity, or behavior supposedly caused it.

What confuses me is that the account was less than a day old and I had not interacted with another user at all. I only uploaded my photos, filled out the about me and preferences, and answered a few of the question things.

I also use other Match Group dating apps with very similar profile information without any issues.

I’ve now submitted a BBB complaint requesting a manual review because I’m guessing both the ban and appeal was handled by an automated system rather than a functioning human being.

Has anyone else here had a brand new account banned this quickly, especially before sending any likes or messages? If so, did you ever find out what caused it or get the account restored?

Someone explain to me if my feeling is right or not. I feel like there are a lot of scammers on okcupid. just reading multiple profile summaries, a lot of them sound so similar, as if they were all done by the same ai chatbot. a lot of times i get a match then the "girl" somehow doesn't have instagram, wants only to talk through whatsapp or telegram. & they never reply there.
I just wanna know if these are scammers, then what are they benefitting from once they have other people's phone numbers

I'm trying to cancel my description, and I checked the Okcupid help article (https://okcupid-app.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/22977442983707-How-to-Cancel-and-Unsubscribe) which says to go to the subscription settings page, but I followed their link and it looks nothing like the pictures they have, and neither the main settings page nor the subscriptions tab have an option to cancel. Does anyone know if there's a way to cancel now?

I guess I'm just going to call my bank and dispute the charges, if they literally don't give you a way to cancel now.
