My Instagram (@notbblud3) was victim of mass reporting by gross racist ‘trolls’ many many times. I received a notification that something I posted went against community guidelines, it was a post purely trying to spread awareness on an issue. I accepted if it was against guidelines and so deleted it but for weeks after, my account was threatened with permanent exclusion due to this post. Every time I received said notification I would go to see if it was deleted and see what I can do or what was going on. My account ended up being deleted. Of course i appealed but I have heard nothing back for weeks now, I would assume that if they were to delete my account they would notify me but you can never be sure as I had friends in the same situation. I am very disappointed in the treatment of my account, I had posts purely factual, evidence backed information and I worked extremely hard to make my account into what it was. I have also made made many friends and saved a lot of important things, none of which I can access now. I hope this awful trend of mass report and deletion of accounts ends because from what many can see it is only one specific group that is targeted in a malicious way!

    Hello notbblud3.
    I wouldn't advise you to plау being the victim, as уоu weren't raising awareness, but rather were being rасist and rudе tо сountless peopIe. And, you weren't mass-reported; one report is all Instagram needs to decide what action to take.
    So, what caused your account to be bаnnеd, is yоur repetitive usage of horribIe and harmfuI Ianguage, and a rudе and arrogаnt attitude. To be specific, a certain usеr who triеd to engage in a civiI debate, and aII you did was condеsсend to them and deny their concrete evidence in their arguments.
    Moreover, your account included a large amount of misinformation. Misinformаtion might lead to an increase of bigоtry and hаtе in society, which might cause aggression leading to injurу оr even dеаth.
    To conclude, I'm gIad you Iost yоur account. The Instagram communitу is now a safer and more friendly pIace without yоu. And using some of your words, it wasn't my fauIt that Instagram didn't 'Iike your pаthеtiс IittIe insuIts'. Сrу hаrdеr.

    Mass reporting is impossible in Instagram; all Instagram needs is one report and a member of the review team checks the comment/post/story to conclude whether it goes against the Community Guidelines or not.

    Moreover, when the report is verified and it's confirmed that the content violates the Community Guidelines, it is automatically removed. The second time it occurs, you'll start getting warnings that the account could potentially be disabled.

    As a result, your account was banned at Instagram's own discretion and the action was most likely valid, as only accounts consistently carrying out offenses either against other users or against the terms of service are the most vulnerable to this action.

    Therefore, your complaint contains insufficient information, and Instagram would not process it in that state.
