I just logged into my account went to my profile I can't see everything it says unavailable can't DM anyone so I got banned I literally did not break any rules to my understanding I post within the subreddits what their rules are so I got no notifications no email and now account's banned what gives? I'm put in appeal but I'm pretty sure it's not going to get a reversed knowing how Reddit functions.

My question is why is Reddit so extremely strict with its moderation there's no other platform or social media that's this strict they actually lose customers I get trying to like weed out people that are like bots but a subreddit band is sufficient opposed to a whole site ban it it's a huge mistake on their part.
 
Yeah, sometimes Reddit can be like that

No explanation.

Their 'appeal' links dont even work.

They give 0 fucks about a mishap.
 
Don't waste your time on appeal move on just start fresh Reddit is extremly strict
 
They overestimate their importance and are hurtling confidently toward the abyss... soon they will fall...
 
Reddit's automated systems are notorious for false positives. I've seen accounts get site-wide restrictions with no clear explanation, especially if there's unusual activity or posting patterns.

At this point, the appeal is really your best option. Sometimes bans get reversed, but getting an actual reason from Reddit can be hit or miss.
 
Reddit bans happen for many reasons like spa filters, too much promotion or breaking subreddit rules. sometimes even normal accounts can get flagged by automated systems.
you can appeal if you think it was a mistake, many users get accounts unbanned after review.
 
Reddit can be really harsh sometimes. A lot of bans seem to come from automated systems and we often don't get a clear reason why.
If you've already submitted an appeal, there's not much else you can do except wait and hope someone reviews it.
 
How the hell does Reddit freaking know if you make a new account. Like what is so sophisticated about their software that tracks this. Why does Twitter, Snapchat, facebook not use this then. Like it's insane I literally tried to make an account on another phone with VPN and without seconds account goes poof.
 
maybe it detected a pattern or you were promoting a link too much. You never know with reddit, sometimes it just happens and you just move on

You said it your self, you used a VPN. Try again with a new phone but with a residential IP. You could also use a less know VPN server.

most VPNs use a shared IP address, especially the cheap ones or those free ones. it's likely where your issues started
 
appeal is probably your best option, and if it was a false positive, there are cases where accounts do get reinstated but don't get your hopes up

I use surf shark. Even went on my company severs and made a reddit with that ip but obviously I can't utilize it there. The moment I use it on my laptop or phone or new phone it's all connected to a banned up and goes poof ugh

most surfshark servers will be flagged.
 
I've found that Reddit has always been that way. As long as you follow the platform's rules and each community's guidelines, your account is much more likely to remain in good standing and continue operating without issues.
