Reddit used to just shadowban people so they had no idea they were even banned. They now tend to use reddit filter to autoremove anything you post.

But now I have had an account ban, just two days afyer creating. Posting conformative threads and subs and not only does the reddit filter remove tje post but ALSO the sub moderators, not reddit instantly ban the account.

Rhat is a new one. Anyone experienced this before? Wonder what the reasoning behind this new style of banning is.

It’s not necessarily new, reddits filters have been getting stricter for a number of years now. Also, if your account is getting flagged without you actually posting promotional content, it might be because their algorithm is linking your new acc to previously flagged ones.

yeah, i've seen Reddit remove posts pretty quickly on new accounts. could be the spam filter picking up something, especially if you're posting in several subs early on. the mods removing them too might just be their own filters. hard to tell without seeing the ban message tbh.

Many sub-forum moderators now have independent ban privileges. Risk control doesn't just look at post content, account fingerprints are evaluated as well.

Reddit's Automoderator often flags brand-new accounts and auto-removes their posts, then moderators can instantly ban the account. Accounts younger than a day are usually caught by the spam filter.

I’ve seen this exact style spike since late October, the filter removes the post then the sub’s ban-evasion or trust-level bot instantly bans the account so mods don’t even have to lift a finger

I had the same thing when I posted a link only thread a day after creating the account. Reddit's automod flags that pattern and instantly bans the account.
