Account disabled due to an API Integration (KSoft.Si)
Hi, Tuesday I was looking at an API service that a cog (plugin) of my Discord.Red powered bot showed as an integration option. That service is Api.KSoft.Si.
Signing into that gives you access to their API service.. well is supposed to, plus it auto joins you to their associated server. However shortly after, Discord disabled my account for violating TOS.
Yesterday I used an old alt account to sacrifice to retrace what caused it. Sure enough, instantly upon signing into KSoft, my account that otherwise I'd not used in absolutely years was instantly disabled upon logging into KSoft.
I'm (sort of) at peace that my account may not likely be reinstated unless have luck that a human acknowledges my emails from the trust team rather than the same we will not reinstate bot response. Just losing all my private messages is a bummer plus that's one of my two phone numbers down the drain unless that gets released once the account is deleted.
I've managed to get myself second in command on my server, so I just need to wait 30 days and try to get 100 folks on the server to meet the requirements to get transferred the ownership.
However, is there a time limit before it's too late to request the transfer? Not going to be any small thing getting 100 members when I'm at around 10, plus 10 bots, and bots I suppose wouldn't count otherwise that'd be too easy?
I tried to say about this on the subreddit, but was instantly deleted.. despite that this is not just another my account was disabled yet I did nothing post, rather that this is an actual problem.
I contacted KSoft's support, yet they deny any involvement, that no one else has reported an issue. That old account I managed to use a friend's burner number to test.
And a number is required for accounts trying to do that signing into that API integration. I can't myself test any more, even though I know damn well that it was this integration that's at the very least triggering a false positive.
(Edit: slight correction here, the phone requirement was due to obviously that I'm using the same device as the account that got disabled, which realised once I created a new alt account that having the same screen)
That's a warning though, plus maybe hopefully others can try from their alt accounts they're willing to sacrifice and the more that notice this, the more maybe this'd result in whatever the cause is to actually get fixed.
That's a 5 year old account just gone to dust just by the blink of the eye. Be careful folks with signing into things. To say my feelings for Discord are scarred from this, the fact that if a server, if a integration or a bot is a bad apple for some reason.. while they're still up, Discord goes punishing unsuspecting users rather than the owners of the said server/bot/integrations. That is absolutely madness.
Obviously this is an alt account, not that account that got disabled.

Hey,
I got the same problem after logging in to ksotf.si. My account was locked.

Well in about 12 hours that'll be my old account deleted out of existence because it's just bot responses that Discord has given the multiple times I've contacted. It's such a mess that social media turns blank eyes when they actually have a big bloody problem.. unless it impacts someone high profile that would result in said social media hearing no end about it until they sort it out.
Update: poof and it's gone. 🙃
