I mean you probably didn’t even start sharing content but I don’t get it. Is there some kind of blacklist for certain usernames or something? How can they disable it automatically like that?

legendary Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hey guys, I was checking in Instagram that exist an option to mark profiles like "Fan Page". Our old page was in "Music/Band" category. As far I remember, when we created our page long long time ago, this category doesn't even exist. Do you remember which category your page was?

The_real_st_jimmy Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So, can you still post Green Day stuff as long as GD is NOT in your IG username / and name and your page is not considered a fan page but every once in a while you will post a GD pic or a meme or post guitar covers of a GD song?🤔 or insta literally crazy rn and deleting everything?

Slave To The Network Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I follow a couple of accounts called "dailybilliejoearmstrong" and "extraordinarygurl" that have a lot of followers and they seem to have not been touched, even though they obviously post almost exclusively GD related content. It must be the username that's the issue. Apparently if it doesn't mention Green Day then it's fine? But @Minority103 I guess grnday is too close? How stupid! Fuck you, Instagram!

I went on Twitter and read that it’s like sometimes Instagram target some communities, 2 years ago all Beyoncé communities were taken down (one of them had 1 million follower).

No, there are good amount of pages that still being active and directly have “greenday” on their username but I think this getting disabled twice thing is really weird. I thought it might be about ip adress or again cannot have the similar usernames. I mean so maybe the other accounts that didn’t have “greenday” on their username but still got disabled, will not be able to include the previous words on their usernames again. I hope there was a way to make sense from out of this stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Any chance IG recognises an email address that was used to start the account? Then deletes it again because of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave To The Network Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Weird. Hard to put a finger on just what Instagram's deciding factors are for an account disable. Just when you think you've figured it out, you're proven wrong again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyza Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I opened a IG new account with a different e-mail address but by including “greenday” on the username again just to see what would happen. I’ll let you know in couple of days but it would got disabled until that time probably lol But I’m also wondering, if I only use “gd” what would happen, maybe it’ll get disabled too?

greenday.stuff Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) I honestly don’t think it’s the usernames. There’s two or three disabled accounts who don’t have Green Day in their usernames. Idk why they pick certain accounts, but you’re definitely onto something with the email thing. I know that they would probably be in here if there were any, but are there any overall updates? I know that Tre knows about it now and they definitely seem to be working on it. Edited March 5, 2021 by greenday.stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyza Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 It's not certainly the usernames but I've heard that same thing happened again around 2018 for some other big GD fan pages. They opened another account with similar usernames and continue for years but now they lost their pages all again. Some, small or big content creators IG accounts get disabled/deleted too time to time, eventhough they use their personal names/photos on their pages. So, I don't think there is any specific reasons or factors that can be considered by Instagram while disabling certain accounts. So, I think now, the pages remain active can be disabled next year because there will be new accounts that use the similar usernames/contents and there will be time again for Instagram to disable some of them at some point. So, I think there is not ant guarantee that you can keep a page active forever on Instagram. I think that the classic fan page format is not considered a long lasting type by Instagram.

greenday.stuff Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I think the most frustrating part about all of this is that we can't really do anything. I've been reading all these articles and watching all these videos, but all but one or two of Instagram's support forms for disabled accounts aren't working. I've tried almost every day since my account was disabled and every time it says "we are trying to fix the problem." Bullshit. All the stuff that is actually supposed to help isn't even working. It's been almost two weeks. I feel like I'm being laughed at by Instagram. I don't even know what to do anymore. Why have all these appeal forms if they aren't going to work? Is anybody else having these problems, or are they just not working for me? This is so much unessecary stress, and I feel like its going nowhere. I already have enough on my plate. Instagram seriously needs to do fucking better. They take down innocent accounts but not people who are actually harassing others. Their support system is so bad, its painful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
