Badoo Badoo account(Jay)

Hi I'm Jay.
I am a monthly paid user that half a month was paid but not used due to the block.

My badoo account was blocked and I have absolutely no idea in what reason you blocked it.
I've never done anything wrong or violated any rules. I don't know who reported me or not. I'm sure it should be a mistake.

Please unblock my account [protected]@gmail.com.

Thank you very much. God bless you!Sincerely;

Badoo Badoo

Account has been blocked for being "abusive" and "rude" when all I have done is be cheeky and flirty. As someone who has achieved absolutely nothing on your site for over a year, I'm disappointed that you've continued to fail your users and prove yourself to be useful. So I'm asking you to provide the exact message in question that was so offensive

Desired outcome: Account unlocked

Badoo unfairly blocking my account

Dear badoo team

Complaint against badoo for unfairly blocking my account

My account has been blocked but I didn't do anything wrong and I was always following the rules.

I want to appeal against the unfair decision of blocking my account as this decision is completely unfair and biased and not based on any valid reason.
Its also unfair to block me and leaving the other account who reported me unblocked as he also was talking in the same language and made a fake report against me
Badoo also did not investigate my complaint and did not give me any result of it and just ignore it and I am not happy by that

If I don't receive a satisfactory result then I want to escalate this case further more to the legal ombudsman for such platforms and I want badoo to send me the name or the contact of legal ombudsman as I want tot escalate this case furthermore.

Badoo did not give a valid reason why my accou8nt has been blocked, what the reason for blocking my account.

Its discrimination to block my account and leaving the other person who reported me unblocked as I look foreigner and he is white and I want to complaint against badoo for discrimination based on the ethnic group

I want Badoo to provide valid evidence why they blocked my account, as there is no reason to justify such an unfair decision.

Badoo alleged that "Badoo doesn't work if we treat each other badly, and some of our users have reported you for rude or abusive behavior. We have decided to remove you from our platform."

I totally disagree with that as I never been rude, or abusive to anyone, I never treat anyone badly, and I want Badoo to provide evidence of full conversations that support the allegations of being rude or abusive or treating people badly, and I am totally sure that Badoo can't find any of those not true allegations as that never happened and if anyone reported me, then it would not be based on any reasonable evidence

On 21/7/2021 and on my last conversation this happened and this why my account was blocked and this completely unfair.

I was chatting with someone and he expressed to me that he is gay in the conversation he told me that he is top and that has meaning in the gay community that he is active. I told him in return that I am bottom. Until here the conversation was ok. Although all the sexual expression used.

Then I told him as what I remember: "what you looking for".
Then he said that he is "looking for long term relationship".
Then I ask him if he like to meet, then he say yes.
Then I ask him to send a picture of him then he sent his face with chest without a shirt.

So until now we were going with the flow and no problem happened.
Then I ask him if he travel and I told that I live in Manchester.

Of course he knows where he live and he know that Manchester if far from him and it's difficult to travel either from my side or his side and traveling has a cost also.

Then he reply that he live in a city but I forget the name of the city but from his profile he live 40 miles away.

Then he said that he is "unemployed".

People usually said that they are unemployed usually when they need money or looking for someone to spend money on them and a way of expressing the need of money.

Then he ask me: "Do you travel".

Then I told him that I use public transport and I am unemployed too and it's difficult to travel.

He reported me, and he just done that to revenge when he see no money benefit is coming from me as I told him that I use public transport and I am unemployed too.

At the end both of us we were using the same language and I was not rude to him at all as he also mentioned that he top and he gay and his position is top.

Trust me if I told him that I will travel to him or give him money to buy ticket to visit me then he would not reported me.

Blocking my account this way would be unfair to me as the guy reported me just to revenge as he did not expect any money return from me and we both far from each others (around 40 moles on badoo's measures)

Both of us were using the same language, same expression, same meaning, maybe not exactly the same wording, but everything was the same.

He is the one who should be blocked not me as he set me up as the conversation was equal in the sexual expressions and the language, is not he did not see any money expectation from me and I am far from him this why he reported me. The report that was send against me is malicious report and is not based on any valid reason

Badoo counted me on the wording not on the meaning; as from the context of the conversation on 21/7/2021, both of us (me and the last person chatted with me who reported me before my account get blocked) we used the same language so my account should not be blocked on 21/7/2021

I would be much appreciated if badoo review my last conversation and make fair decision by reactivating my account

Please I want Badoo to activate my account

Best regards

Sami

Badoo Your account has been blocked

I didn't do anything wrong that I'm aware of, also to make sure I double checked all the rules on your websites and I can confirm that I didn't do anything wrong.

As a matter of fact, I was helping the badoo community by reporting commercial users whenever I came across them to make it a better place.

This is rally not the right way to treat your users.

Badoo unlawful ban

I have been banned in badoo for some "user complaints" reasons, so I reached the support to clarify the reasons of ban and reinvestigate the issue if possible. I did not manage to find a certain rule I have broken. The support answer was simply "we checked all, we are sure we ban you and no, we cannot disclose you any information on the reason except it was because of user complaints". It feels like extremely user-unfriendly user support. Probably the worst, i've contacted in my life.

Desired outcome: Review my ban and provide review details and feedback on propper reasoning

To: Badoo help: you said to this gentleman: Each report is sent off to our moderators who carefully go through each one to ensure that everyone is blocked correctly. If this was shared with you it is because you were correctly blocked due to a violation of our guidelines. You are very deceitful and disingenuous! If anyone makes a false claim, you don’t even attempt to verify it or ask for proof or look at any conversation! You don’t need to disclose who made a complaint to at least let the victim know what dart was thrown at them. Same thing happened to me 100% false and made up because the lady told me over the phone what she had done to me, making up a story to get me kicked off! She had mental problems because she thought I had rejected her when I had not. I have no respect for your company and have spread the news on social media! I believe I saved many from a bad experience! Wouldn’t be surprised if it was around 1,200-1,400 people! “What you sow, you shall also reap!”
