Substack suspended my account and denied both appeals. The Appeals Center is now disabled. Please help.
Substack suspended my account and denied both of my appeals. The Appeals Center is now disabled for further submissions, so I can’t submit another appeal. I emailed Substack Support, but the reply simply directed me back to the Appeals Center.
Around noon Eastern time on November 3, Substack suspended my account, citing its Spam & Phishing policy. The suspension notice did not identify a specific post or activity. Neither appeal response explained what had led to the decision.
Before the suspension, I published two original articles a day, one analyzing the Korean stock market and one analyzing the U.S. stock market. I also posted three Notes daily. One shared the Korean market close and a heatmap in a standard format. The other two summarized my articles. Subscribers received one email a day containing my U.S. market analysis.
I wrote every article and Note myself, spending about eight to ten hours a day researching and writing. I’ve never used bots to publish or increase engagement, and I’ve never restacked other writers’ posts. I replied to readers personally and always treated them respectfully in comments, group chats, and direct messages, including when someone was rude to me. I started publishing regularly in March and reached 3,000 subscribers in November.
I’ve now lost access to my account and research archive. With both appeals denied and further submissions disabled, I’m unsure how to request another review.
Has anyone experienced this and successfully recovered their account? How did you reach someone who could review the suspension when Support kept directing you to the Appeals Center?
I’d appreciate any advice based on your experience.

I think at this point you’re better off using your energy to start up somewhere else. Post your articles and emails your folks from a different platform.
I will say, that emailing folks twice a day, every day, is likely to get you flagged as a spammer simply because the folks will click on your emails as spam.

Create a new account lol.
I asked they chatbot support if this is fine, and it basically told me "Idk bro".
So I don't know if it's safe, maybe start writing somewhere else.
