Bugs and Suggestions

Hello,

My Telegram username (@iamirabar) is valid, public, and opens correctly via https://t.me/iamirabar.
@SpamBot confirms that there are no limits or restrictions on my account.

However, my account does not appear in Telegram Global Search for users who have never interacted with me before.

Key behavior:
- Searching for "@iamirabar" or "iamirabar" in Global Search returns no results.
- This only affects users who have never chatted with me.
- After a user opens my t.me link and sends one message, my account immediately becomes searchable for that user.
- This behavior has been consistent for several years and across iOS, Desktop, and Web clients.

This does not appear to be a spam limitation, but rather a Global Search indexing issue.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use a Telegram account with no prior interaction.
2. Search for "@iamirabar" → no result.
3. Open https://t.me/iamirabar and send a message.
4. Search again → account appears.

Please check and re-index my account in Global Search.

Thank you.

Same problem

t.me/nudeart
I have been appealing for over two weeks (since February 1, 2026) and have received no reaction to my requests for a human review. Below is a brief summary of the facts from our entire correspondence, to clearly present my case.

Evidence of Fair and Organic Channel Management:

11-Year History: The channel has an 11-year clean history of sharing artistic nude photography with proper credits.

No Artificial Growth: I have never used bot services, fake engagement, paid promotions, or any advertising to inflate subscriber numbers. All growth (e.g., +7000 subscribers last month) has been organic.

Active Moderation: Our discussion group has rapid moderation, having banned over 800 users for spam or hate speech.

Community Support: My work is supported by respected figures in the industry (e.g., Alena Vladimirskaya, Maria Podlesnova 2015 facebook.com/alena.vladimirskaya/posts/pfbid0z9UfobXU1c4bYJAdBvYnhaFnB7k1GJBRHpHMVNccxn1LgVQEB47WtJ5WdWvpxxW9l
facebook.com/podlesnova/posts/pfbid0hAHx66RTMDSecrUaANq88MAtTBJKnYQs6GHNKfS9XSswvnTEydoSi8DJLTkjRTGV).

Suspected Cause of Restriction:

AI Moderation Error: I believe the restriction was an automated AI mistake, as my content is artistic and all models are verified 18+.

Botnet Attack: I suspect the channel was targeted by malicious reporting from bot-farms or a revenge campaign by a photographer whose work I chose not to feature. I am willing to accept an 18+ age restriction on the channel to resolve this; I just want it to be accessible again.

Key Points:

I am a fair author and editor.

I have never advertised my channel or used any services to inflate my subscriber count.

I am completely okay with the channel being placed under an 18+ age restriction to satisfy moderation requirements.

I am a dedicated creator, and the current situation, where honest channels are ignored while botnets and scam channels operate, is forcing photography communities to look for other platforms. I am asking for a manual review of my channel.
