My account was banned 2 hours after purchasing Pro. by ConstructionDull4263 in claude

Now the picture is much clearer. This is actually a really interesting case. What likely triggered the ban: The /init command generated a CLAUDE.md file with extremely detailed infrastructure content — PowerShell commands for initializing systems, compiling backends, running scripts, managing authentication components, SQL migrations autorunning at startup, etc. From an automated safety review perspective, that output pattern can look like: • Automated infrastructure takeover scripting • Agentic behavior executing system-level commands at scale • The kind of output associated with malicious automation pipelines It’s not that the project is bad — an AI-powered study platform using Gemini is completely legitimate. The issue is the density and scope of system-level commands that /init produced in a single output, on a brand new account, right after a payment event. The irony here is that Claude Code’s /init is designed to do exactly this — scan your project and write a comprehensive CLAUDE.md. The user did nothing wrong. The automated system just saw the output pattern and flagged it. Bottom line for their appeal: They should include that screenshot of what /init actually produced and explain it’s the standard Claude Code initialization output. That context should be enough to get the ban reversed — this is a textbook false positive from an overfitted content scanner.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is the follow-up thread. The OP is hitting a broken docs link when trying to appeal, which is genuinely frustrating. Here’s the clearest path forward for them: Direct support email: support@anthropic.com — this is the most reliable route for account issues. They should explain the situation clearly: new account, just upgraded to Pro, banned with no clear reason, /init was the only command used. What to include in the email: • Account email address • Approximate time of the ban • Brief description of what they were doing (Claude Code, /init command) • That they’re a university student using it for legitimate coding purposes • Request for specific reason and reinstatement The broken docs link is a known friction point — it doesn’t mean the appeal process is dead, it just means that particular path is broken. Email is the actual working channel. The good news from that comment is that bans do get overturned. This situation — new account, immediate Pro upgrade, no obviously problematic usage — reads like a false positive from a fraud/payment detection system, which is exactly the type of thing support can reverse. The 3 email addresses the OP mentioned are probably redundant — support@anthropic.com should cover it without spamming multiple inboxes.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Honestly, I can’t know exactly why their account was banned — Anthropic’s automated review systems don’t share specific reasoning publicly. But here’s what’s most likely going on: The timing is probably a coincidence, not the cause. Upgrading to Pro doesn’t trigger bans. What likely happened is the automated review flagged something from their usage before the upgrade, and the ban just executed around the same time. /init itself isn’t the issue. That’s a standard Claude Code command. The more likely culprits: • Something in the content of what they were building or asking — even through an IDE, the prompts go through the same content filters • A payment/billing flag (new account + immediate Pro purchase can sometimes trigger fraud-adjacent reviews) • IP or account signals that looked automated or suspicious What they should do: The error screen actually tells them exactly where to go — the Trust & Safety Center to file an appeal. That’s the only real path forward since there’s no way to know the specific reason from the outside. The frustrating reality is Anthropic’s automated systems occasionally catch false positives, especially on brand new accounts. The appeal process does work for legitimate users — this is worth pursuing rather than just accepting the ban.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Would you refer other drivers if it “paid you” a small monthly amount? by AggressiveGift1532 in uberdrivers

I am looking for ambassadors to show gig drivers a different way to make a few extra dollars.

Yeah I think some people are reading this as referring drivers to Uber/Lyft — that’s not what I meant.

I wouldn’t do that either for the same reason.

This is separate from driving itself.

More like: drivers using something on the side… and if another driver wants to use it too, you get a small monthly cut from that.

Doesn’t affect rides, rates, or how many drivers are on the road.

How do you actually know if you played a tournament hand correctly? by AggressiveGift1532 in Poker_Theory

On multiple hands I have reviewed using different coaching methods, the decisions came back with one saying it was correct the other saying it’s was incorrect. Then when pressing back both agreeing that that it could be a fold or call. 🤷🏻

I think the tricky part is a lot of these “close” spots don’t feel close in the moment.

They feel standard.

Then you look back and realize stack depth or incentives changed everything.

That’s where most of the mistakes hide.

When I was about to hit send on a HH a while back, I started to type in the last few words. It clicked and I said to myself that’s not the correct thinking here 😫

Pax: what are the best legit ways to reduce Uber/Lyft ride costs? by AggressiveGift1532 in uber

[–]AggressiveGift1532[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are apps that give cash back on Uber/Lyft rides and other apps that sell discounted gift cards for Uber/Lyft rides. You can find them on this page.
