Subject: I Am Not Giving Up — Final Appeal with Evidence,

Hi beehiiv Compliance Team,

I Am Not Giving Up. @beehiiv @denk_tweets

I am writing this email because beehiiv is the only newsletter platform I have ever properly built on. I do not know how to start over somewhere else, and I should not have to — because I have done nothing wrong. I am asking for one final fair review before this case is permanently closed, and I am attaching three screenshots that I need your team to look at carefully.

THIS IS NOT MY FIRST TIME BEING FLAGGED — AND BEEHIIV REVERSED THE DECISION BEFORE

This is something I need your senior team to be aware of. When I first created this account, it was flagged by your compliance team. I went through the process, provided context, and beehiiv reviewed the situation and reinstated my account. That decision was reversed because the evidence showed I was a legitimate creator operating within your policies.

Nothing about how I build and run this newsletter has changed since then. My list is the same list. My methods are the same methods. My audience is the same audience. The only thing that changed is the name — from ThinkAIPrompt to Prompt Guy — and the fact that my newsletter has grown significantly since that first review.

I am asking: if your team was satisfied enough to bring this account back the first time, what new evidence exists now to justify a permanent termination? From my side, nothing has changed except that my business has grown and my audience has become more engaged than ever.

EVIDENCE ONE: MY X ADS DASHBOARD — THINKAIPROMPT

I am attaching a screenshot of my X (Twitter) Ads Manager, logged in under the ThinkAIPrompt account (@Thinkaiprompt). This dashboard shows three campaigns:

- A Reach campaign that ran from October 11 to October 16, 2025
- Two Engagement campaigns (Followership and Followership Copy) that started in February 2026

This is documented proof that I have been running paid advertising under the ThinkAIPrompt brand since October 2025 — driving real traffic to my opt-in forms. This is how I built my list. Not through purchased addresses. Not through scraped data. Through paid ads pointing to consent-based signup forms on my own websites. The campaign history, account name, and account ID are all visible in this screenshot.

This also explains directly why some subscribers may not have recognized the Prompt Guy sender name. They signed up through ThinkAIPrompt campaigns and ThinkAIPrompt landing pages. When emails began arriving from Prompt Guy after my rebrand, some of them may not have connected the two — even though they absolutely did opt in. This is a brand recognition issue caused by a legitimate rebrand, not a consent issue.

EVIDENCE TWO: MY MAILERLITE ACCOUNT — PROMPT GUY

I am attaching a screenshot of my MailerLite account, which is logged in as Prompt Guy under [email protected]. The subscriber records visible in this screenshot show signup dates going back to December 2025, confirming that this list was being actively built and managed before I migrated to beehiiv.

I stopped using MailerLite specifically because I became fully committed to beehiiv. I believed in this platform. I moved my entire operation here because I wanted to grow here long-term. I did not abandon MailerLite for another competitor — I left it for beehiiv. That is not the behaviour of someone running an illegitimate operation. That is the behaviour of a creator who chose your platform as their home.

The MailerLite records show the same email address, the same brand name, and the same list — confirming continuity of identity between my previous platform and my beehiiv account.

EVIDENCE THREE: MY GUMROAD ACCOUNT — $20,208.74 IN TOTAL EARNINGS

I am attaching a screenshot of my Gumroad dashboard showing total earnings of $20,208.74. My products include Claude Skills Pack, JSON Prompt Mastery, and Role Based Prompt Formula. The activity log shows active sales on June 11, 12, and 14, 2026 — the exact same days your team was processing the termination of my account.

I need your team to sit with that fact. On the days my account was being permanently closed, real people were still opening my emails and spending $39 and $70 on my digital products. People who did not consent to receive emails do not purchase products from those emails. A non-consented or scraped list does not produce $20,000 in verified commercial transactions. The commercial relationship between my newsletter and my audience is the single most verifiable proof that this list is legitimate.

WHY THE UNSUBSCRIBE COMPLAINTS HAVE A CLEAR EXPLANATION

Your team cited reports from recipients stating they did not subscribe. I have already explained the rebrand from ThinkAIPrompt to Prompt Guy, and my X ads dashboard now provides the visual confirmation of this. Subscribers who clicked through ThinkAIPrompt ads and signed up on ThinkAIPrompt forms received emails from Prompt Guy after my rebrand. Some of them did not recognise the new name. That is the explanation. It is straightforward, it is documented, and it is entirely consistent with a legitimate newsletter that underwent a public rebrand.

WHAT I AM REQUESTING

I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking for the same thing your team gave me the first time this account was flagged: a proper review of the evidence.

Specifically:

1. That a senior compliance team member reviews this case with all three attached screenshots as part of the official record.

2. That the previous flag and reinstatement of this account be taken into account — as proof that this account has already been reviewed and cleared once before.

I have 95,000 subscribers who signed up to hear from me. I have a new content series they love. I have subscribers emailing me directly asking where I went. I have a business built on real ads, real opt-in forms, real products, and real revenue — all of it documented and attached to this email.

beehiiv is the only home this newsletter has ever had. I stopped using every other platform to be here. I am not giving up, and I am asking you not to give up on this case either.

Thank you for reading this fully.

Respectfully,
Prompt Guy (formerly ThinkAIPrompt)

The 4yo is watching the 7yo and 14yo play Minecraft and she’s humming “Rondeau à la Turque” like a maniac. Happy Mardi Gras? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@lacklustre_ I think there’s a formula based on your birth year. Mine is 6. If you figure out the formula, let me know.

@lacklustre_ I think you skipped a step.. 😉

@georgecooper By my estimation - everything is weird.

[Bryan Murdaugh @murdaugh]

@georgecooper I JUST asked the 13yo that same question and he just rolled his eyes.
