Basically, a while back my Reddit account was banned out of the blue. Since then, every single new account I make gets banned instantly every single time I make a post. Not once, for the record, have they ever provided me an iota of a reason as to why I was banned in the first place. As far as I know, my account was just wiped off the face of the internet because someone felt like it. Since then, I’ve used VPNs, different computers, changed my IP to my internet, but every single time, the moment I post or comment the same exact thing happens. All of a sudden, my profile in the top right disappears and when I go to check in an incognito tab, it says that it’s been suspended.

Then, a few hours later, it will become permabanned. Then I’ll submit an appeal, and every single time they get back to me, they deny it, and the only reason they give is because “I broke the rules”. How on fucking earth am I ever supposed to use this platform again?

    Hey, at least you get a reply. I’ve been appealing to remove shadowban for over two weeks with no response.

      some have been appealing for months. one of my last acct that was hit/flagged in feb, got shadowbanned last month, because a comment removal and sudden switch to a fork of FIREFOX caused them to “change my password and then became a shadowbanned”

      No replies anymore lol, they’re just bullshitting people into thinking they actually give a shit atp, half the appeals and support tickets are just reviewed by ai or egoist admins who couldn’t care less about the platform. I even saw an admin flexing about how many accounts he’d gotten banned on reddit before he got downvoted to hell and deleted his comment

        more than half, i think only admins listen, if a MOD contacts them to appeal on your behalf, otherwise its just 50/50.

            even if a mod vouches on your behalf, the current filters are still screwy enough that you still can catch a ban.
