Someone managed to give mod status to himself in my Reddit community page

Hi guys, I just noticed my Reddit account is Shadow ban. I was curious why. Lately I noticed there is one person managed to make himself mod inside my Community page. He even disable my permission. I cannot remove him. I also changed my Reddit password but later I find out it no use partly this person already can access my Community page as he already a mod inside.

I do email Reddit support mention on this but I doubt they will reply.

So any suggestion guy? I thinking I just remove this community page.? Is that possible to remove?

Apart from waiting an answer from Reddit's support, I'm afraid you can do nothing currently.

gee. Means I start all over again a new reddit account? Is useless partly I join quite a lot community etc. I already build up my 10 years + this account. Sad.... I know why I shadow Ban partly due to that person managed to make himself as mod inside my community page but interesting I never received any notice. As if someone request to mod surely Reddit will inform me.

They only inform me change passwords due to security reason. I suspect this fellow managed to hack into my account and make himself as mod and spam around thus make my personal Reddit account now on shadow ban...

assume the worse that your operating system might be at risk (first thing to think about) then work back wards, if you have windows 11 legit and all updates, then what other software you have? i would do a complete wipe clean of my c drive and start again with a fresh install, and virus scan deep your data drive if thats elsewhere.

You might have some malware that people use to take control of your pc and browsers. The price you pay if you don't update software and platforms regularly. You want to be 100% clean before you start again, and fix whatever might have caused the issue before.

I using Mac OSX , I always update it. I don't download any " Suspicious apps , software " . No doubt now a days Apple OSX also can be hack but I still quite carefully come malware stuffs like that. I also double check the Reddit notice is it legit to ask me change password.

I still puzzle how this fellow managed to make himself as mod in my Reddit community page. I noticed he still active yesterday spam again as I can check the notification. He even add another auto comment app mod. Weird is he never take over my main reddit account. IF he so call hack my reddit account why he never also take over my main Reddit profile access instead target my community page. Control it.


Side note, before my reddit community page been access by others. I never download any new stuffs.

Guys I just wonder, is that possible to remove , delete my Reddit community page? To prevent this fellow spam. Since he never take control of my Reddit account only the community page. If can remove , how to remove the reddit community page I created? Once remove , will my reddit account back as per normal? Instead now on shadow ban.

Classic session hijack, that mod almost certainly logged in with an old unreoked refresh token from before you changed the password, so nuke every active session in Reddit settings then force a full logout on all devices
