Lot of websites in general have gotten all weird about minors because they think it’s child exploitation. Even minors are getting punished on reddit for it. It’s algorithm. As if teens don’t have sex and sexual preferences and aren’t dealing with puberty. If two teens try to meet up, say bye bye to your account. It’s against site policy to meet up with a minor but I don’t think a minor is going to think it includes two minors meeting up with each other. I don’t think Romeo and Juliet would be considered either.

Also to all parents out there, do not back up your family to cloud because most of us have taken nude photos of our toddlers and infants. They will be tagged as CP and your account will be disabled locking you out and no access to your photos. Always keep backup, copy copy copy.

Thing is my alt was ban first. Then my main. This is where its difficult.

But I never commented in subs i got banned from. That’s the thing. I had been using my alt for a couple of months. I’m thinking it was an IP thing when I used hotel wi fi so another suspended account got linked to mine and whatever reddit admin did with their bot for updates got my accounts suspended hours apart. This isn’t the first time reddit has messed up with their bots and knowledge it. They only do something about it when moderators make a big stink about bans like subreddit bans, bunch of their users getting banned. It’s happened before. Then they fix it by uplifting the bans.

Some reason my new account isn’t banned yet and I haven’t commented. Maybe because I cleared cookies on my browsers, logged out of all suspended accounts, made a new one with email not associated with any emails to my banned accounts.

I wiped out cookies on my phone. Used my son’s Google account he abandoned and made a new reddit account. I will see how long it lasts. Hasn’t been 48 hrs yet. I did modmail them in help about appeal and asked a couple questions about my unique situation. No response but no site wide ban yet, my two accounts still suspended. What gives? Are they teasing me? It’s not shadow banned either. I will just give it time before their bot catches it. Maybe the admins are sitting back and waiting for it to happen. I swear they’re incompetent if they have bots do their jobs for them and ignore users requests and modmails about suspensions.

Now I won’t log into my banned accounts. I’m guessing emails that were associated with banned accounts will be auto suspended. Youtube works that way too. Have a recovery email linked to your email that was used with account that got banned, auto banned. I have different emails, including one from when I was 17 I hadn’t used in years.

Oh yeah and I got two newsletters from reddit about how to get karma and then the second one telling me to get karma.

I think this is how i got banned. I used hotel wifi to save on data and I was listening to YouTube and I got on reddit forgetting I wasn’t on mobile data. The suspension happened two weeks later and then my main account got banned because it was connected on my reddit app and logged in with my alt account.

I got kafkaesque banned. Just a generic message you get about multiple repeated violations when you have been suspended before and opened a new account and got caught for ban evasion. Reddit admins ignore appeals and messages about it. They let bots handle it. Even my friend tried to ask them for me in r/help about my unique situation but it got removed quickly.

My only defense is i never recieved any other messages about site rules I broke and no previous suspensions and I used hotel wifi and no other accounts are mine that got linked. They’re supposed to have the 3 strike rule and 4th offense, perm suspension. I never got that.

I didn’t get shadowbanned, I got site wide suspension.

Ignoring context of post, if a mod decides they don’t like a user based on username or post history, they can just do this. So messed up given admins use bots to run the site.

I saw i had a proxy IP but I can’t even help that because it’s automatic and I have no idea how to change it. I’m tech illiterate. I know some places will ban you for a proxy. I’ve gotten that accusation before on a forum and I knew nothing about proxy IP. I only guessed that assumption came from me moving house 5 times in 1 year because I was a young adult. My parents, my own, my aunt and uncles, my ex, then my apartment and we have had to change internet providers a few times for cost. But the mods used that as a scapegoat to blame other issues in me other users did I didn’t do, especially when I got impersonated. Sorry for living lol. Humans move you know and access the internet wherever. Some people use a paid vpn to keep their IP consistent because they access the internet all over because they travel a lot for work.

Maybe I was banned for my proxy UP, who knows. I never ban evaded. I never created a new account to evade a ban. Both my accounts existed before the ban wave. I take website policies seriously. If I am so butthurt by someone, I block them and move on than following them and commenting on their posts or getting into petty arguements.

Wait, many users are being banned right now?

I never ban evaded and I don’t know how I would multi bot. Reddit says we can have more than one account just as long as we don’t break the rules. I followed what their policy said. They even say make a new account if you don’t like your username but I’m afraid their bot will just ban you for posting in the same subreddits you did with your other account or if you get baned, your posts on your older account could show up as a ban evasion if one of the mods comes across your older post. I’m speculating this is how I was banned.

I guess shreddit all your comments first before moving onto a new account but what if reddit sees that as you trying to get around the rules and stuff when they said you would need to make a new account if you want to change your username.

I’m surprised they let me play it as a banned user.

I hear they disable/delete your account but they let me keep mine. “Oh we will let you log in but you can no longer post. Oh we will let you vote still and play this nice little game for April Fools in r/field. Oh we will let you have a new account for a half hour to modmail the admins. Oh we will let you save posts and delete your own comments.”

My reddit experience right now.

You’re late to the party, the reddit admins fixed that error with their bot when they got many complaints and users using Luigi Mario character as a meme. One if the admins announced it in their post.

So you’re saying your account doesn’t get banned until you post and bam, banned.

Pointless having a unbanned reddit account if you can’t post.

We no longer own our products. We just pay to use it until they decide you can no longer use their service. What happens if they mysteriously shut down your account without warning?

That is what happened to a guy and he had to get court involved and then he found out his account was flagged for CP by their algorithm because he had a video of his 19 year old ex. False bans do happen. I couldn’t find that story again sadly to share.

Also, make sure you always have back up turned off or have one drive not installed on your phone. If you’re a parent, be careful what photos you take of your children because if those get backed up to cloud, their AI will kill your account because it can’t tell between CP and normal family photos.

I actually want to own our products than make accounts to use.

Being perm banned without warning and no reason given. Just happened random. So I started to look for an alternative.

I once got a warning for site rule 4 when I told a fetishist she shouldn’t be in a subreddit for minors regarding that fetish. Somehow that was suggestion sexual exploitation of minors. I suspect that user reported my comment out of retaliation to try and kick me off reddit. I didn’t appeal it because I figured i would just avoid that topic in the future and it was only a warning, not a perm ban or suspension.

Shoot, we have a proxy IP and I have no idea how to not have one. Plus my husband uses avg that blocks websites tracking him. He isn’t banned on reddit but he’s never posted anything. Only read.

No idea, it was random. I even looked through my comments to see any deleted content from reddit. I guess I was site wide banned for saying a killer is less dangerous if he only kills child predators. It was to an article about a man killing his cell mate for sexually abusing a kid. People in the comments praised him for it but other users had to remind them he is in prison for killing other people. I said he would be less dangerous if he had only killed child predators. That got me lot of upvotes. I couldn’t find this comment of mine so I assumed reddit removed it.

I also said another time how a kid had to die for the mom to finally get help from the state. The kid froze to death when the mom was homeless with her kids living in the car. Then the state of Michigan grants her a house when that should have happened before one of her kids froze to death. Obviously redditers knew what I meant because they upvoted it. I wasn’t citing violence for kids to die for parents to get assistance from the state. Yet reddit never alerted me so I could appeal it. There is nothing in my messages about what content of mine violated their sitewide rules which makes me think it was done by AI than by a human.

I guess this was citing violence against a group of people. :/

I have that same message in both accounts. i even reached out to reddit support for more information when my appeal was denied for both accounts. Still awaiting to hear back.

I got mysteriously site wide banned without any warning. Only been warned once on the platform and never been suspended. I believed I was following the reddit TOS and guidelines but was banned for "violating “multiple rules.”

I have never been alerted about it by reddit ever what content of mine violated their site wide rules. I hope the admins here are more fair and actually respond to requests than using AI and algorithm and ignoring requests about wrongful suspension.

Did reddit team just start to hand out banhammers to accounts randomly? My alt was banned and then my main one was banned hours later. It was just a generic message not really telling me what content of mine violated their site wide rules.
