Student's ChatGPT account banned after uploading a past exam paper; appeal rejected with no escalation path
ST4US · reddit · 2026-10-26
A university student says his ChatGPT account was deactivated after he uploaded a past exam paper for academic help — one question allegedly triggered a safety restriction — and a linked account was banned too. His appeal explaining the academic context was rejected, support declared the case closed, and the Privacy Portal now says the account is deleted or deactivated with no confirmation email. He's asking Reddit whether any official escalation to human review exists, highlighting OpenAI's opaque ban-appeal process.
