The emails from their "Trust and Safety" team are extremely tone-deaf...
"We've locked you out, no explanation" "Sorry for any inconvenience"
Seriously? That last line is like a slap in the face.
No one should talk to a customer like that in this situation, if only because (a) if this is real abuse, you don't need to be "fake nice" and (b) if it's a false-positive, you've just come across as extremely smug when you're in the wrong.
“Warmest regards”.
Wow. F*ck you too.

Wow that is just terrible.
"We've tried nothing and we are all out of ideas! LOCKED" is basically their response.
I'd complain on Twitter just to see what happens.
Unfortunately, my ticket no longer appears under closed tickets. I was still able to dig up my original ticket message and all the responses their support made to me through my email though. Here they are:

Between the replies I asked about what I could do to verify my account. As you can see, they didn't even give me a single chance to do so. They told me to hang on twice then just permanently closed it up. I'm not sure how I even got flagged. All I did was turn on a droplet and delete it. I checked the audit logs, and there was nothing suspicious there either. It was just me logging in and out.
I thought about making a deal about it on Twitter, but I didn't bother because I don't have any followers and it wasn't a huge loss to me either. Maybe it's the only way?
