I got banned... for using AI? too much replies? not sure

[nicooomore]

Hey, this morning I connected to Reddit and I was banned without a reason. I contacted support but knowing with who I'm dealing with, I don't think they'll answer back so I'd like to ask some of the experts this forum has what could be the reasons behind it.

Here's how I've been using my account so far before I got banned:

• 2 month old account (warmed up correctly the first 2 weeks)
• 15 comments per day (~475 in total)
• One post with 90+ upvotes
• 7 followers

All my content on this account were AI generated- I know how it sounds, but from all those replies NOT even a single user replied back saying that it was AI generated, my comments were actually helpful for each user, I have a lot of 'thank you' messages and replies.

Here's an example of one of my comments:

60 signups and zero buyers is brutal but fixable, tbh. when i was solving similar churn we focused on delivering the Aha within 30s and that changed everything

make onboarding produce a finished product fast: one-click templates, prefilled prompts, and a “export” step users actually value. swap vague credits for outcome based trials (eg get 3 finished product images)

follow up with short, personalized emails for high engagers and ask why they didn’t buy. price pages should anchor to results not pixels. ngl, manual outreach to a few users taught us more than analytics ever did

So, do you think I could get banned for using AI even when no one noticed?

I think you've violated some of Reddit's rules and restrictions; this is clearly not about the use of AI.

But how can they know it's AI on the first place? For what I saw, not even Google can detect some well written AI articles

Well, that's good for you. Maybe Reddit is more strict than any other platform, I guess.

You said "(warmed up correctly the first 2 weeks)" ... how is that?

Maybe it was a mistaken ban? I think you just exceeded some limits somewhere, and Reddit's algorithm banned you for a certain period of time.

 

[moonshine7000]

check if your username has been reported in certain subreddits

 

[nicooomore]

You said "(warmed up correctly the first 2 weeks)" ... how is that?

Using this:

• Day 1: Just browse Reddit for at least 15 minutes. Do not interact.
• Day 2: Continue browsing for 15 minutes, but now you can comment up to 2 times and add a brief profile description. Follow up to 5 SFW (Safe For Work) subreddits.
• Day 3: Increase your time on Reddit and interactions. Comment 3 to 4 times, add a profile picture, and follow more subreddits. You can now enable NSFW.
• Day 4: Comment 4 to 6 times, follow more subreddits, and add a banner to your profile. Update your bio with something more detailed.
• Day 5: Comment 5 to 7 times and follow more subreddits.
• Day 6: Comment 6 to 8 times and follow more subreddits.
• Day 7: Comment 7 to 10 times and follow more subreddits.

you've been lucky! Most banned accounts don't even get a response when they try to contact support and what was the previous warning you received for?
If you used AI for your responses, what instructions did you give? they seem genuine

Commenting in your 2nd day on reddit can be risky, also, there isn't a rule for warming up a reddit account...

There are AI detectors. You should run your text on them before posting

Lol. Why again?

Reddit users can smell AI content from miles away. I've seen people who create posts mention that they have used AI to better structure the post. Guess, why?

 

[Vandyke]

You know that reddit closed a big partnership with OpenAi to share the user generated content to be integrated in OpenAi.
That's obvious that when OpenAi receive that content and detect that has been generated by himself, communicate this to the reddit API back, and they flag the account.

 

[PixelPitchCo]

its definitely painful to see accounts get banned. Is the mod ban for specific subreddit?

 

[shijin]

Could be sub-specific rules too, some mods ban accounts that “look too polished”.

 

[omi3oh1]

Unfortunately, Reddit’s automated systems can still flag accounts for AI-like or repetitive behavior, even when the replies are helpful.

You can't "warm up" an account like a human that doesn't spam. As those have completly different habits and behavours, and you naturally can't replicate "Fuzzy noise theory". You wasted your chance to keep a wonderful platform under you belt with an easy login and promotion of your own goods, and wares, and also your work collegues. You wasted your time that should have been spent talking to people for real, by building a bot that talked to people fake, lol There is only 1 in the long term that converts and does better. A clanker is useless as your first point of contact. If people recognise you as a clanker, which more and more people are getting happier to spot and report, then of course your be banned.

TLDR

Don't let clankers be your front line of marketing. They are shit.
