A permanent ban on Pure is the most severe type of block the platform issues. Unlike a temporary suspension, it carries no expiration date and will not lift on its own — regardless of how long you wait.
What "permanent" actually means technically
When Pure issues a permanent ban, it adds multiple identifiers to a blacklist that persists across account resets:
- Device fingerprint — hardware-level identifiers that survive app reinstalls and, in many cases, factory resets
- Account credentials — email address, phone number, and any linked authentication methods
- IDFA/IDFV identifiers — on iOS, Apple's App Tracking Transparency identifiers that apps use for tracking
- Network history — IP ranges associated with the account's activity
Why standard advice fails on permanent bans
The typical forum advice — reset your device, change IP, get a new SIM — addresses at most 2-3 of the flagged identifiers. The device fingerprint and behavioral profile remain intact, and Pure's system immediately identifies the returning user.
"A permanent ban is basically Pure saying: we recognize this hardware, this behavior pattern, and these credentials. We block all three simultaneously. To get back, you need to address all three — in the right order," explains Alex, an unban specialist with 4 years of experience.
What are the actual options?
Permanent bans are recoverable, but the approach depends heavily on which specific identifiers were flagged and whether any additional flags were added during failed recovery attempts. Based on OnlyLike data from 3,000+ cases in 2025:
- 67% of permanent ban cases were fully resolved
- Cases with prior failed VPN or mod attempts required more complex recovery paths
- Average resolution time was 2-5 days
The risk of making it worse
Every failed re-registration attempt adds new flags to the ban record. If you have already tried 2-3 approaches and failed, the situation is more complex but still solvable — however, attempting more DIY approaches typically makes recovery harder, not easier.
