When does Producthunt ban an account?

I saw a tweet about a user getting banned by ProductHunt just a day before their launch, which is horrible! I have a CompanyGPT launch this week and am worried that I might get banned. When does ProductHunt typically ban an account? CompanyGPT: https://www.producthunt.com/products/companygpt

Hi @manmohit could you have them reach out to support? I am not seeing any of the Makers on that link banned. Thanks! :)
@pamsny sorry for confusion. That link is for my upcoming launch. Seeing an acquaintance getting banned made me thinking of the probably reason of ban and hence this discussion

My best guess is that there was some ToS infringement for that account to be banned. Check out "Your use of the Services is subject to the following additional restrictions" at https://www.producthunt.com/lega...
@karenlay Yup commenting too much on product launches is apparently is reasons for a ban

@karenlay @manmohit like Karen said - the terms of service are laid out pretty plainly. Manmohit - can you let us know what happened in detail so we can avoid that for our pending launches?

I think if they find out you've paid someone for comments/upvotes etc.
