Types of “freezes” in VK
Now there are three ways in which your account can be frozen.
Manual moderation
Your profile has received multiple complaints for violating VKontakte rules. As a result, one of the social network’s employees checks the claims for their validity. If you really broke the rules, the moderator will ban you. At the moment this method is almost never used. What actions are the blocks for?
- Insults They are not appropriate in all public spaces. If you have insulted other users of the service a lot, sooner or later this will lead to your account being frozen;
- Promotion of drugs and other prohibited substances This area includes all things prohibited by the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation.
Above are the two most popular reasons why your page may be frozen. Below are less popular violations:
- Sending photos and videos of adult content;
- Racism, inciting conflicts on political grounds;
- Copyright infringement.
As mentioned above, this is most likely not your case. Now let's talk about automatic blocking.
Automatic freezing
The most popular and common case. The block is placed on your page by the Contact system. An account can be frozen for any similar actions. These may include:
- Putting likes;
- Inviting or joining various groups;
- Sending messages (spam);
- Writing similar comments in groups.
And there is one last thing that causes a profile to be banned – hacking.
The page was hacked
As a reason, you will see a message stating that suspicious activity has been detected on your account. Typically, attackers enter through protected servers, so-called proxies.
If you live in Moscow, but your profile is connected from a device located in Germany, then a ban will be imposed. In this case, VKontakte developers protect your interests. Now let's talk about how to unfreeze your profile.
How to understand that your page has been frozen
When you try to open the VKontakte website, or go to any tab within the social network, you receive this message.
This is a block that is applied automatically due to the following reasons.
Reasons for blocking
Three main categories can be distinguished:
- Page hacked
- Automatic blocking
- Manual lock
Let's look at each one separately.
