# Account Suspension

## Deactivating your account

There's no automatic way to disable your account yet, but you can request that we manually disable it and remove it from our database.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Deactivating your account is irreversible.** We cannot recover or reinstate it once it's disabled, and any subscriptions and beta access tied to it cannot be restored. Account removal is not available for banned accounts.
{% endhint %}

To request deactivation, open a ticket in our Discord server and we'll assist you from there. Consider the decision carefully — once it's done, you'll permanently lose access to your account and its benefits.

## Account bans & punishments

The best way to avoid a ban is to familiarize yourself with our [Terms of Service](/policies/tos-term-of-service.md). If you've already been banned, the section below covers your options.

We strive for a flawless system, but occasional false-positive bans can happen. If you believe you were banned mistakenly or unfairly, our support team can help.
