Account suspended for making posts via API using praw.

[Hexraise]

I had an account that was about 2 months old. This week I started making posts to 10 different subreddits. They were used to get attention and transition users to other social networks on the profile and everything was fine.
I wrote a bot in python using PRAW, made the posts as usual, everything seemed to work, complying with useragent and ratelimit, but after logging out of the account I found it suspended.
Any ideas on this? Maybe I just broke some API rules?

We tried automating Reddit with praw but it s very bad for doing such actions, try Browsers instead

Ideally, by using praw to automate this I'm not breaking any rules ( Unlike automating it with some selenium ). I'll ask support to clarify this point, but in theory that's not the point. In any case - it's really worth trying automation via browser.

Suspension usually means manual action by reddit staff, be mindful of the content you're posting, is it something that may result in your account being reported? If so, then that's the reason.

Well, I posted adult content, in appropriate subreddits. I'm sure I didn't violate anything. And especially when I did the same thing with my hands, it was fine.

I had same issue with my 6 year old high karma account. I send message abut issue to admins and they fixed it.

My accounts were getting banned when using praw. Selenium is costly for this task because Reddit consumes lot of bandwidth. I think we need to use gql queries, which Reddit internally uses.

Actually in my case I didn't even break any rules, most likely a bug in the code that caused me to spam OAUTH requests for each new post. After appealing/creating a new account I'll do new tests. Selenium will be fine for my purposes as I don't need multitasking and multiple accounts at the moment but in any case PRAW is more pleasant to use. Thanks for the gql tip, I'll consider it too.
