I made an account 3 years ago to make a single post, which I wanted to be anonymous for. I logged in again today as I wanted an account for… um… science, and discovered I was banned a year ago. I find this ban incredibly odd as
- I did not log into this account for two years between the post and the suspension
- They do not state what rule I broke, which is not standard in my experience
- They do not offer the opportunity to appeal, which I also believe is not standard
- They tell me to make a new account. If I broke their rules, why would they want me to make a new account? Temp ban makes sense. Permaban makes sense. This makes no sense.
The only explanation I can think of is that they want to bump the user count.
Their bot detection must have realised that you’re actually human.

Seems like someone closed your account without your permission.
This is becoming the norm. The ban system is totally broken as they’re handing more and more tasks over to bad AIs. There are constantly tons of complaints from moderators about Reddit’s various broken systems, including the ban system.
Maybe they didn’t like the username?
This is probably the only type of rules violation that could be fixed by creating another account, so this was exactly my thought.
Username is completely clean. It was something along the lines of “BeautifulPuppies”.
