Quick answer: If Linktree banned your account, your page is down for every follower who taps your bio link, and it stays down until an appeal succeeds. Linktree says action follows a Community Standards breach, ranges from content removal to suspension, and can be contested through its "Appeal a Decision" form by the account owner only. Its transparency report for January to June 2025 shows 4,947 appeals with 20.48% accepted. Appeal, but do not wait on it: put your links on a page you control today, and update each bio once. It takes ten minutes.
Why Linktree bans accounts
Linktree's help center says that if a Linktree "is found to be in breach of our Community Standards, appropriate action will be taken," and that the action can be removal of the offending content or suspension of the account, depending on severity. The Community Standards (effective April 9, 2025) list fourteen categories, and the transparency report names the top ban categories as spam and fraud, harassment, illegal goods and services, hate speech, and child harm.
Most detection is automated. That is why a ban can land on a page a human would have cleared: an affiliate offer read as spam, a product read as MLM, a link read as adult content that was not marked sensitive. It is also why the help article does not promise a warning first.
What happens to your page
| Part of your setup | After a ban |
|---|---|
| Your linktr.ee page | Down. Followers see an error or a removed-page notice. |
| Every bio pointing at it | Broken until you change the link in each profile. |
| Your link list | Inaccessible while the account is suspended. If you did not keep a copy, you rebuild from memory. |
| Paid plan | The help article does not address refunds. Check Billing if you can still log in. |
| Products sold through Linktree | Sales stop with the page. |
How to appeal
- Use Linktree's Appeal a Decision form. Linktree says it responds only to appeals from the account owner, so submit from the account's email.
- Say which link or content you believe was misread, and why it complies with the specific standard cited.
- Keep it short and factual. A reviewer is reading many of these.
- Expect to wait. The transparency report gives median response times for IP reports of about ten hours; appeal timelines are not published.
The odds are what they are. About one appeal in five was accepted in the first half of 2025. Plan as if yours will not be.
Get your links back up today
- Write down your links. From memory, from an old screenshot, from your own site. Title and URL for each.
- Claim your name at itsmylinks.com/join. Free, no ads, no card, on a domain online since 2005.
- Paste the links in. The page is live when you save.
- Replace the link in every bio: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, anywhere you posted the old one.
- If the appeal later succeeds, you can point back or keep the new page. Most people keep it.
How to not be here again
Read the policy of whatever tool you use. Our policy comparison quotes what Linktree, Beacons, Milkshake, Bio Link, and ItsMyLinks each prohibit.
Keep a copy of your links somewhere that is not the tool. A note on your phone is enough.
Get off the shared domain. A ban is one risk. A shared domain flagged by Instagram or TikTok because of other users is the other, and it hits accounts that did nothing wrong. A page on its own established domain avoids it. See is Linktree safe for both risks with numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Does Linktree warn you before a ban?
The help article does not promise one. Assume no.
Are Linktree bans permanent?
The help article does not say. An accepted appeal restores the account; a rejected one leaves it down.
Can I make a new Linktree account after a ban?
Creating a new account to get around a suspension is the kind of thing terms of service prohibit. Moving to a different tool is the clean route.
What happens to my followers meanwhile?
They tap a dead link until you change it. Change it first, appeal second.
