If your appeal is rejected, POF generally prohibits you from creating a new account. To start fresh, users typically must use a completely different email, a new SMS-capable phone number, and a different device or network to avoid being immediately re-flagged by the system.

If you create a new account but get banned immediately after login from your phone/tablet, POF has fingerprinted your device.
