People are now being banned from Tinder for campaigning for Bernie Sanders

There is a limit to how much you can #FeelTheBern, according to Tinder. The dating app has banned a handful of women for sending campaign messages to their matches, Reuters reports.

"Do you feel the bern? Please text WORK to 82623 for me. Thanks," Robyn Gedrich, 23, of Brick, New Jersey, wrote to 60 people a day over the past two weeks. Were someone to send the text Gedrich requested, they would be prompted to sign up for updates from the Sanders campaign. Gedrich said she has been unable to log in to her Tinder account since Thursday.

Haley Lent, 22, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, had a similar experience. Lent talked to 50 to 100 people across the nation with her Tinder premium membership in order to promote Sanders. "I would ask them if they were going to vote in their upcoming primaries. If they said no or were on the fence, I would try to talk to them and persuade them to vote," Lent said. She was also locked out of her account on Thursday.
