Why do some accounts get banned or suspended but their post and comments remain. While others get suspended but all comments, post, ever made disappear from the site?
 
Are you sure their posts and comments remain for other users, or are they just visible on the banned account in question?

Yep says account is banned but post remain visible.
 
Account is suspend but post and comments is visible.

Depens on whether the post was approved in the subreddit and mostly the CQS

Nope, If you review his profile all comments are still there. Maybe this is another type of ban that doesn't remove your post. Probably not a Spam AI ban.
 
I don't remember but it may be a temporary suspension, user may reset his password and continue using Reddit after that
 
Reddit might keep posts from soft-banned accounts for optics but erase hard-banned ones to flex
 
It all depends on how the admins or moderators choose to handle the ban.

Reddit leaves posts visible if the account is suspended for general rule breaking to maintain context. If the ban is severe (e.g., ban evasion, doxxing), all content may be wiped.
 
That’s true, and it’s pretty odd.

In principle, when an account is banned, all related content should be deleted. But I’ve seen content stick around even after the account’s been banned for a while. This seems to happen only with high-engagement posts/comments. I’m not sure if Reddit does this on purpose or if the subreddit mods choose to keep that content.

If deletion depends on subreddit admins, that’s kinda silly.
 
Suspended accounts still have posts but banned accounts will be deleted completely, I think they have some method to suspend their accounts to make the posts still show up
