In a person’s life, a lot can be bored, this applies to films, music and social networks, in which they spend a lot of time aimlessly browsing pages, studying someone else’s life. At some point, a decision comes to refuse such services and the question becomes of deleting or temporarily blocking an account. Vkontakte has several ways to permanently leave or freeze your profile.

What is page freezing

It is important to understand the difference in terminology regarding page locking. Freezing a profile and deleting it are two different things; the procedure for performing these actions is also different. For example, through the settings, you can erase your page yourself, close it for a while and, at your own request, open it. Freezing works a little differently, only VK administrators can ban.

If you independently lock the page, you can remove the ban on use for 7 months. Freeze and unfreeze a page can only VK admins. You will only be able to return to your favorite affixing likes and scrolling through the feed after a specific period. The exception is the situation when you managed to prove through tech support that the ban was received erroneously or unjustifiably (such situations will be written below).

Why they can freeze a page on VKontakte

The reason for the temporary blockage by the administration, as a rule, is suspicious actions that violate the rules for using the service. The page can freeze in the following cases:

1. Cheat subscribers, likes. We are talking about an artificial increase in activity on the page with the help of third-party sites, when they sign up for a profile for bonuses. Cheat unscrupulous people
2. They can freeze them for spamming, when a person sends massively many identical messages to the group’s wall, to other subscribers (usually advertising content). This activity is prohibited by the rules and is a violation.
3. Placing prohibited materials in your feed: posting links to prohibited resources, pornography, incitement to violence, spreading viruses, religious insults, etc..
4. Suspicious user hyperactivity. This concept includes the mass addition of friends, the abnormal number of likes in a short period of time.
5. Complaints about the profile by other users who noticed forbidden information on the wall, suspicious behavior on the page.

If the administration decided to freeze your account, then you can remove the ban quickly (the issue is resolved 2-3 hours). Each subsequent penalty will extend the duration of the block up to 6 months with the subsequent permanent (permanent) ban. To get frozen, you can simply post a post on the wall with links to vkbot.ru or vto.pe several times a week. Actions on the part of the VK administration will not be long in coming. If you don’t have such a goal, then it’s better to refuse such records.

How to block your page manually

If you want to temporarily restrict access to your profile, you can freeze through the settings panel. Unlike the administration’s punishment, you can remove the restrictions yourself at any time and continue to fully use the account. Manual removal and blocking is carried out according to the same algorithm with a small additional condition: for a page to be completely removed from the database, you need not to restore it for 7 months. For manual locking you need:

1. Go to your profile, click on “Settings”.
2. Scroll down the menu, at the bottom there will be an active link “Delete page”. Click on it.
3. This will freeze the account, which will block access to the content for other users. If you want to unlock it, you will need to log in to VK and restore from the same menu.
4. If you want to completely delete the profile, then just do not go into it anymore, after 6-7 months the administration will delete it from the database.

How to freeze someone else’s VK page

There is a way to provoke a ban for another user or just an annoying spam bot that asks to subscribe to his group or profile. It’s easy to freeze another person’s account temporarily, but it’s very difficult to provoke an indefinite blocking. The owner of the page will apply for defrosting, so you will have to repeat the action several times. For these purposes, you will need to file a complaint against the user.

Complain from a personal account

The main tool for this will be a technical support report with a complaint about a specific user profile. To speed up the freezing process, you can ask friends and acquaintances to also send a complaint with the same reason for blocking. This is done as follows:

1. Open VK, log in and go to the account you want to ban.
2. Under the photo there will be an icon with three dots. Click on it.
3. Next, select the option “Report page”.
4. A new window will appear where you need to specify the reason for the blocking of the options: abusive behavior, spamming, pornography. It will be necessary to describe in words what in your opinion violated the rules for using the VC.
5. After filling out the form, click the “Submit” button. Then it remains only to wait for the decision of the VK administration.

There is another option, how to freeze someone else’s profile in VK. It is suitable if a person is actively sending messages to other users with intrusive advertising messages, offensive in nature, pornography. Inside the dialog (the “messages” section), the upper additional menu contains the “This is spam” button. By clicking this button, you automatically send complaints to this VK user. If there are a lot of them, then the page will freeze.

How many complaints are needed to block a VK page

There are reasons why the administration can freeze a profile almost immediately, but this only applies to third-party sites, which were written above. In other cases, a critical mass of reports must be accumulated in order for the technical support decision to temporarily block the account be taken. This is done so that, due to personal antipathy, one user cannot block another. Officially, the figure is not called, but at least 5 complaints are necessary for the ban.
