Testing Reddit's New Filters Together.

Update: I posted a comment yesterday, engaged naturally in the discussion, and included a link to an old Reddit comment that mentioned my brand. The comment is still up, and the account is still active. My guess is, does Reddit either removes comments quickly if they look too promotional or certain keywords are triggering the filters? At least from this test, it doesn't seem like linking to another Reddit comment by itself leads to a ban.
A single mention won't hurt, but Reddit is very strict about self-promotion. Occasional, natural brand references are fine. However, if you consistently market products or services without adding genuine value, Reddit’s filters will quickly flag, suspend, or ban your account.
 
I got banned on a 5-year-old account with 6k karma just for saying, "Sail the high seas!" Meanwhile, I've seen plenty of other Redditors post the exact same comment without getting banned. I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my setup. I don't use an anti-detect browser or proxies.
Whats your setup?
 
Lately it feels like almost everyone doing any kind of promotion on Reddit is running into the same problems: comments getting silently removed, posts disappearing, and accounts getting shadow banned. Why don't we work together and use this thread to test different methods? Whenever someone tries something new, just post an update on whether it worked, the comment was removed, or the account got shadow banned. This way we can avoid wasting time repeating methods that no longer work. I'll start today with a new test and update this thread with the results. Recently I noticed that mentioning my brand name in a comment, even without a link, gets the comment removed and eventually leads to a shadow ban.

My next test is different. I have old comments on aged accounts that already mention my brand. Instead of mentioning it again, I'll naturally engage in discussions and share a link to one of those old comments so anyone interested can find the brand there. I think it can work since it's an internal link and not external. The conversion rate will probably be lower, but if it avoids Reddit's filters, it might be worth it.

If you're interested, let's work on this together and share our findings.
i am interested to help you in any way I can
