BANNED for logging in (do not use this client anymore!) #254

Open Sakujes opened 3 years ago

Sakujes commented 3 years ago

Yesterday I got banned right after I logged in to this client, because there is apparently a bug/feature in TdLib that causes accounts to get "disabled" to prevent SPAM accounts from using modified clients and this client is too outdated.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download the latest version from /releases
  2. Enter your phone number, verification code and cloud password
  3. You MIGHT get banned right then, after a few seconds with no warnings

Expected behaviour

Client should work like the official TD. To fix this issue, I think this client would have to be updated to at least version 2.0.0 of normal TD or above, so DO NOT use any older unofficial clients if you do not want to risk getting banned.

How to get unbanned (!!!IF YOU GOT BANNED READ THIS!!!)

This issue already happened to more people (on other clients) so there is an awesome guide that will get you unbanned in 24 hours or less on https://github.com/tdlib/td/issues/312, in short: Email recover@telegram.org, tell them your issue, phone number, details and wait, they will unban your account.

It's the Telegram API credentials problem, not client's problem.

Telegram treats custom API credentials more strictly than official ones. This problem affects all Telegram clients and MTProto libraries: even official client, if you build it with custom API credentials.

Telethon even has separate question in FAQ section about it: https://docs.telethon.dev/en/latest/quick-references/faq.html#my-account-was-deleted-limited-when-using-the-library

So updating sources won't help it in any way.
