My other account or friend's account was suspended and now I can't log in
Unfortunately one of the side affects of suspending an account, is that it will automatically block any other accounts our system finds to be connected with it or that appears to be the suspended member signing up a new account. This process is automated and based on a number of different factors. This can only be avoided by the original account avoiding suspension in the first place.
- When your other account or friend's account is un-suspended you should also be able to log in again
- If the account has been closed, or the offensive was a serious one, you may not be able to log in to Redbubble again
I haven't visited Redbubble in months and I'm suspended
We use the same error message for suspended and closed accounts. Chances are, you closed your account a long time ago and will need to sign up again. If your account still exists you will be able to find it by typing in the address directly: www.redbubble.com/people/YOURUSERNAME (if this results in an error page, your account is closed)
- If your account is closed sign up again with a different username
- If your account exists but is suspended, please review this article.
What happens to my profile while suspended?
If you are suspended, you will not be able to login to your account and your work will not be available for sale or show in search results for the duration of your suspension.
