Appeal regarding Behance restriction

  • February 9, 2026

For the first time since 2018, both my personal profile and my studio profile have been flagged as spam. I am absolutely shocked by this situation. Over the years I have received 34 awards on Behance, including Best of Behance, as well as recognition in Photoshop and 3D categories.

 

 

 

Some of my projects may share structural similarities, but this is purely a publishing system I created to make it easier to present new work and it has nothing to do with spam or deceptive behavior.

I was proud to be a Behance Pro member, but I am deeply disappointed that such a serious decision was made without any clear explanation or evidence. Simply labeling my account as spam and removing my work from search visibility negatively affects both my business and the promotion of my projects.

 

I kindly request that this matter be reviewed as a matter of urgency.

Best,
Artemii Lebedev

Hello Behance Support,

My Behance project was automatically flagged as Spam and made private.

I believe this is a false positive generated by the automated moderation system. This project is an original portfolio showcasing YouTube thumbnail designs that I personally created. It does not contain spam, misleading content, or prohibited material.

I have already removed promotional contact text and reduced the number of tags to ensure full compliance with the Behance Community Guidelines.

Unfortunately, the appeal link provided in the moderation email is not working and displays: "Sorry! We couldn't find this survey."

I kindly request a manual review of my project.

Notice ID:  [removed by moderator]

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,
Victor Design

My team and I are experiencing this same issue with incorrect spam flagging. Despite our Pro Member status, our appeal was rejected without any specific details or explanation as to why our content was flagged in the first place.
