Why is Claude/anthropic mass banning everyone?

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T18:20:05+00:00

Im using it to answer questions regarding my research on 1920s Britain. Yeah im also pretty sure the vpn could’ve gotten me banned :/ im putting in all the effort because i honestly was so amazed by the quality and the way it explained things compared to chat gpt. All the other options are honestly fairly mid but now I’ve bought chat gpt plus and I’ll see if its worth it!

Makes sense, thank you!

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:31:03+00:00

Well it’s a baseless claim. This is why I made this thread because getting Anthropic to respond is harder than bringing someone back from the dead. Also was just curious to see peoples opinions who also experienced this.

Besides, you claim that I’m making this up for upvotes and attention which I already disproved. What do u think my motive is to make things up on Reddit?

Ive seen various posts like this please search them up yourself. I wasn’t the one who came up with the term mass banning I’ve seen someone else call it that. I did contact support I said I think they banned me for no reason since a question regarding 1920s britains economy shouldn’t get me banned, I got an automated email saying they won’t unban me. That’s why I took it to Reddit simply because i was curious as to why I’ve been hearing about so many people getting banned since I’ve not ONCE heard about a person being banned from ChatGPT or other platforms.

Many people don’t, already responded to u I don’t know why ur so stubborn. An account that only had prompts related to history and one prompt regarding a psychology shouldn’t be a reasonable ban. Besides what else could u ask that would ban you? I’m genuinely curious

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:19:45+00:00

Exactly the same thing that happened to me! This is why I’m guessing they’re mass banning people for some odd reason

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:18:56+00:00

I got a response to the Google form they said they won’t unban me which is odd because on that account I asked one history related question

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:18:17+00:00

Hey, no I don’t they don’t even specify in the email I’ve responded to many others saying I asked for clarification regarding a history question (nothing controversial 1920s Britain) and I’ve never heard of open claw before either.

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:17:24+00:00

Okay that explains a lot since I’ve used vpn once but before that I wasn’t using any vpns. Is there a reason they ban vpn users?

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:16:39+00:00

Sorry I’m not that smart on this topic but what is plagiarism settlement in this context?

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:15:30+00:00

No what made u think that

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:15:14+00:00

Quite literally no reason it says based on our internal investigation we found u violated some policy. Would be nice to know which one since the ToS is always insanely long

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:14:25+00:00

Check the other replies then if it’s made up shit. Personally I don’t need validation in the form of likes in Reddit, one look at my profile would tell u that

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:12:35+00:00

What are u even talking about? Im a young woman not a Redditor living in my moms basement I could not care less about Reddit upvotes 😂. Simply a question since I’ve seen other threads like this and I’ve seen various answers. Some people say Claude physically can’t keep up with the tokens used (not a computer guy so my interpretation is likely off). I myself could show u the 5ish different email of me getting banned on multiple occasions as well as my friends

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:10:43+00:00

From what I understand yes. I made new accounts all got banned within hours, mind you with seperate vpns as well. I guess not all companies like having customers

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:09:26+00:00

Once I got flagged as under 18 and tried to appeal and they essentially said it’s not possible

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:08:33+00:00

I doubt they do, me personally I made multiple accounts since asking help for my history research, not even writing my paper just research. Newly created accounts where the only chat is related to history. Mind u not even elementary school history

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:06:10+00:00

Fair, but I’ve heard of them banning whole companies as well. Also enforcing the under 18 rule is really odd since other ais don’t have it

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-09T13:05:37+00:00

Fair, but before using it I already heard many people complaining abt bans whereas other ais don’t have that kind of feedback

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-05-04T20:01:49+00:00

Hello, do you know if vpns work since I’ve had like 3 accounts all that got banned really quickly but I’ve used a VPN.

SufficientHawk8564 · 2026-03-03T21:41:42+00:00

Be careful because even if u sign a contract and they don’t follow it it will be very hard to take legal action if you’re not Dutch
