I remember about 2 years ago, if I got banned, I could create a new google voice number and email, and easily use my same device, same internet connection (wifi) and even use my same photos and didn’t have a problem!

A few months back I got banned for the first time since a couple years. I made a new google voice number and was able to sign up for a new account. I used the same photos, same device, same Apple ID, and same internet connection as my banned account. However, I noticed I wasn’t getting any matches, and that I was not able to purchase any of the premium memberships.

I sent a help request to hinge in order them to allow me to buy a premium membership since I thought it was just a glitch, and they basically told me that it was because my account was banned. Right after, when I logged into my hinge, it said my account was banned. Even though I didn’t have a single match or chat or any other kind of interaction.

Has hinge banning really gotten much more strict? Do I need to create a new account with a new number, new email, new device, new Apple ID, new internet connection (ip address), and new photos?! Wild times if that is true.
