How to find out the real reason for Pure ban

When you're blocked without explanation, you want to know why. Pure doesn't reveal the official reason, but you can narrow down the possibilities.

Based on Pure's official position and the practice of the OnlyLike unban service. Current as of 2026.

Why the reason isn't disclosed

In the block notification, Pure lists only general grounds — no specifics tied to your case: violation of rules, fraud, impersonation, commercial use, multiple accounts, third-party tools, prohibited content.

How Pure detects violations

The system continuously analyzes profile photos and conversations for suspicious activity. A public profile photo is easier to flag than private messages — everyone sees it. Private conversations, on the other hand, are reviewed manually by moderation during an account freeze, when the account is under review.

Banned immediately vs. frozen first

If the block came instantly, without a review — it's more likely an automated decision (for example, triggered by a photo). If there was a freeze first — the account was reviewed manually. This doesn't change what to do next, but it helps understand the logic.

Is it a ban or a deleted account

Sometimes users mistake a technical error or self-deleted account for a ban. If you can't log in but haven't received a block notification, rule those out first. What to do next — banned on Pure: what to do; the full picture is in the Pure ban guide.
