WTF is going on with reddit?

There's no hard limit on comments, I've had new accounts that posted several comments without a ban.

What I think is happening is Reddit gives your account a spam/bot score when you register based on IP, user behavior, canvas fingerprinting and email address (spam history, level of verification etc).

Based on your spam score, it'll either let you post more frequently early on or limit you and shadow or auto-ban your account.

So what's the best way to check your spam score? Like I'm doing everything manually on a low fraud score residential IP and an anti-detect browswer. What more do I need? Previously, if I did exactly that, the account gets warmed very easily.
 
I haven't had issues using gologin and static residential socks. It could be your browser.
 
Okay so I tried commenting only once every 24-36 hours and it seems to work really well. I did this for 3 straight days and then ramped it up to multiple comments per day. This raised my CQS to moderate, which is a sign that the account will become Reddit proof. It's also ideal that you browse and upvote random content while you're not commenting. This way it helps raise your CQS.

Sounds like platform detection has tightened recently. Even with clean setups, stricter algorithms can trigger bans.
Try slowing activity even more, vary your behavior, and double-check any patterns that could look automated.
Sometimes it’s not your setup but systemic updates on their side.

they even went as far as unilaterally deleting, posts or comments without evena subreddit mod knowing about it, and mods also complained that is reducing any actual community/engagement going on, and the amount AI slop/bots have increased(propaganda)

Some accounts are but others died. This is because I made a mistake by commenting with under 1 hour intervals. The ones that survived, I'm going to do 1 comment per 24 hours until 7+ days.

Also i think we should change the proxies provider because it seems like reddit had falgged some of them, and no metter what you do they gonna get you shadowbanned.

To be honest, I don't think proxy providers have much to do with Reddit's shadowban algorithm. If you do a PixelScan, Scamalytics, or any other proxy quality checking website, the proxies I use have little to no fruad score. It's more to do with the activity on new accounts where there are generally tighter restrictions.

When you commented at first, what happened? Like did the first comment stick? Or was the first comment filtered off by Reddit's filters for CQS?

So when your 3rd comment got removed, what happened afterwards? Was the comment removed immediately after commenting? Because usually if it was removed immediately after commenting, it means the comment was removed by Reddit's filters. If it was removed like an hour after, it's likely manually removed by a moderator. When your account was shadowbanned, did your other 2 comments also get removed too?

No the therd comment did not got removed at all it even got some upvotes, and then later on when i logedin to the account it was just banned thats it just like that, no commetn ever removed no spamy things very slow activity, and have some upvotes too, and still get shodawbanned, nothing make sence.
 
Are you starting off with brand new accounts, we have an internal tool that helps us with only fan master and slaves account strategy on reddit and haven't had any issues. But we did have one of our own personal account getting banned after it was ran on our system, and then we logged in from our phone. The change in IP address and location must have tipped off and nowadays, the bot tracking is even more sophisticated. We are considering having the bot to search on google for the reddit thread and then go to reddit and engage vs engaging directly in the platform. We will test both methods out.

I work with blank accounts but they are aged like 6+ months old, and they get banned after few comments even if none of the comments are filtred out or anything, the activity was so normal no bots no spam nothing, also i tried the stragy of google but did not solve the problem TBH. It was working best few months ago for me but now evrything seems hard, warming up new accounts is next to imposible now, the accounts that are already exists and warmed up are msotly safe, but new ones ahhhh, even if i try to use reddit as a normal user.

Yeah sometimes Reddit does slow-shadowban. When you got shadowbanned, what happened to your other 2 comments? Like did they also get removed as well? Because usually when accounts get shadowbanned, especially new ones, the older comments also get removed in the process.
