Reddit account & all posts deleted (not suspended) without any notification?

[TheOutlier]

I was promoting a legitimate website (nothing shady or illegal and wasn't selling anything) I built myself and posted in around 5-6 subreddits. The posts were live for a few hours. Then a couple hours later, suddenly found out the entire account and all of its posts were deleted without a trace.

The user profile now shows up as "page not found" instead of being suspended.

My question is - would the account + post deletion have been done manually by an admin or was it automatically by Reddit's system? Guess I'm trying to figure out if if it's mod/admin-based, would the account would show up as "suspended" vs. just not existing anymore? Does anybody know?

It’s automatically. You probably got banned from a big subreddit and it automatically flags your account. If you promoted your own site that should be the reason.
You might wanna use aged accounts to avoid that.

Even with aged accounts, you have to be more subtle when promoting your website, reddit has no patience for spammers

You've been shadowbanned. Say goodbye to your account.

Ah, it's a relief that it was automated and not by the hands of some power-hungry admin/mod. Was worried that some admin could easily turn my entire Reddit marketing efforts into nothingness at their own discretion.
