Hey, I'm builing a Reedit tool with oAuth for my users to connect their account but I'd like to know the difference between doing this manually vs from an oauth app regarding the bans.

Let's say there's a new Reddit account with 1 week of age and want to post a comment to a post, is there any difference between doing it from the oauth app vs doing it manually?

Asking because I was on that situation, an account with 1 week posting a lot of comments manually on Reddit but I got banned after the first comment posted from the oAuth app.
 
Could be your app triggered a spam flag by posting too many comments at once
 
OAuth vs manual posting isn’t the main issue. New 1-week accounts get flagged easily if you post too fast. Keep it slow, consistent

If the account is new and posting aggressively, Reddit can flag it regardless of manual or OAuth posting. But OAuth apps sometimes raise more suspicion since they’re often linked to automation. Manual posting feels more “human” to Reddit’s system. So yeah, using OAuth can increase ban risk if you’re not careful with pacing and behavior.
