Appealing a BAN

Post by whitney kimberly »

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back after submitting a ban appeal? I’ve been waiting a little over two weeks now and still haven’t received any update from OBC. I followed all the steps correctly when submitting the appeal.

Also, does anyone know how payments are handled if you had outstanding earnings before the ban? I had some pending payments and I’m not sure what happens to those.

Would really appreciate any help or insight—thanks in advance!

From what I read, you don’t get your payouts if banned. I did my first review and after I wrote my review it wasn’t long enough. I googled how to explain what I was saying in some places of my review to make it longer. My post was banned for plagiarism. But I didn’t intentionally plagiarize. Now I have a ban. It says it is temporary but I had $50 on the line there. I’m trying to find out how to contact the team about this but it keeps bringing me around and around in circles

That is insane and very similar, this was my 3rd review and right before receiving payment, i`m banned. Now I'm concerned if this is just some sort of tactic to not do payouts. I emailed and followed all the steps to appeal the ban, they are not very responsive at all. I hope we both get it sorted out soon because that's really unfair.
