FAQ #221: I was banned, is there anything I can do?

Account Bans and the Appeal Process
If your deviantART account is restricted by a ban or suspension for any reason your only course of action should be to contact the HelpDesk and complete a Deviant Ban Inquiry. This process will enable you to ask questions about the reasoning behind the action and to appeal the action by stateing a case for your unbanning.

Bear in mind that you may not create, or use additional accounts during a ban or suspension as this is considered an attempt to avoid the punishment. The actions taken are targeted at the user of the account and not just the account itself and due to this fact it is very likely that all accounts associated with you as a user will also be suspended or banned. New accounts created during a ban or suspension may also have immediate action taken against them for the same reason.

Be advised that contacting the helpdesk does not mean that your account will be immediately reactivated, it merely means that your appeal will be heard and your case will be passed onto the appropriate administrative staff for review.

Note also that being abusive towards the helpdesk will not reflect well on your appeal.
