OKCupid has some very strict rules, and if you have violated them, they may not reactivate your account. You can submit an appeal of your suspension to OkCupid, but before you do so, you should check OkCupid's guidelines and try to figure out why your account was suspended.

How to Appeal Your Suspension
If you want to appeal your suspension, you will need to contact OkCupid's help forum and ask them to review your case. You can find the help forum here. Tell them everything you can about why you think the suspension was unjust, providing as much detail as possible. You might not find them to be very responsive, though, because their policy is to never tell people why their accounts were suspended. They do this in order to protect the identities of members who might have reported your behavior for a violation of the rules. If they decide to reinstate your account, they will send you an email saying that your profile has been reinstated.
