Weak: "PLEASE give me back my account!!! I did NOTHING wrong. This is ridiculous."
Strong: "My account @maya.travels was disabled on 4 June. I post my own travel photos and have never broken the guidelines. I logged in from Thailand that week, which may have triggered a check. Please review manually; I can verify by video selfie."
Hacked then banned
Weak: "Someone hacked me. Fix it."
Strong: "My account was accessed by someone else on 12 May, when my email was changed without my permission (I have the security email). The crypto posts that led to the ban were made by them. I've secured my email. Please restore my access and remove those posts."
Age check
Strong: "I'm 24, born 3 March 2002. My passport is attached. Please restore @devon.r."
Ad account
Strong: "Ad account 1234 for Bloom Florist (bloomflorist.co) was disabled on 1 April. We sell flowers locally; our ads show bouquets and prices. Business registration and invoice attached. Please review."
