  "textContent": "Posting here because I have followed the standard appeal process and want to ensure my case receives a human review.\n\nI am a paying ChatGPT subscriber. On June 5, 2026, I received a ban notification citing a generic violation of Terms and Usage Policies — with no specific behavior, prompt, or incident identified.\n\nTo address the standard questions directly:\n\n  * Account sharing: None. Used exclusively by me.\n  * VPN / network masking: I do not use any VPN or proxy.\n  * Automation: I do not run scripts or bots against the ChatGPT UI.\n  * Payments: No chargebacks or disputed payments.\n  * Content: I have never attempted to jailbreak or bypass safety systems.\n  * Duplicate accounts: I have no other OpenAI accounts.\n\n\n\nI have no idea what triggered this. My usage has been consistent — learning, development, and standard AI tooling work. Nothing changed in the days before the ban.\n\nI submitted an appeal immediately and received a confirmation (Case: C-b58zPXbIzB8j), but have had no specific explanation of what I allegedly violated. Without knowing the reason, I cannot even address the concern.\n\nI have also seen multiple reports today (June 5) confirming a massive account ban wave affecting legitimate paid users — including Pro and heavy Codex users globally. I want to flag this as a likely false-positive caught in that wave, not a genuine policy violation.\n\nMy account details:\n\n  * Email: eachman01@gmail.com\n  * User ID: user-iczkQZjE9onTJwIQzctT8kpc\n  * Appeal case: C-b58zPXbIzB8j\n\n\n\nIf any OpenAI staff member can review the logs on my account, I am confident the activity will show nothing outside normal usage. I am fully willing to provide any additional verification requested.\n\nThank you.",
