News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I had a 11 year old account on Reddit. Used it pretty much daily. Last week I got a 3-day ban. No idea what I wrote that was wrong, as Reddit removes the content. Two days after that ban, I got another 7day ban. Now I do know what post it refered too, and in no way it violated their rule about violence. So I appealed and, ofcourse, it was denied. Not ok, but I could let that pass, except the refusal refered to the wrong content, namely the one from the first ban. I appealed again and they just banned my account. I don't know if I'm even going to bother making a new one.
They will just shadowban you if you try to make a new account. Right now it's a really bad time to make a new account, I visited the shadowban sub because I got the ban and noticed a huge amount of people reporting their shadow and, were due to, soon after account creation, or a comment removal for not having enough karma, cqs, age, or getting linked with a strangers account and banned in bulk
So apparently if they don't like your "appeals" they just perm ban you. That's bullshit. You will have to jump through a lot of hoops to create a new one that isn't banned in a day for ban evasion
It kinda goes the same as report abuse, if they don't like your reports in a given time, you get permabanned for reporting multiple users for violating policies. You also notice they increased their usage of using AI to respond to your appeals now toom
Spend last night removing the account and one other I hadn't accessed in years (was even older than my main account). Made a new account, which lasted a few hours before getting banned.

I wiped out cookies on my phone. Used my son's Google account he abandoned and made a new reddit account. I will see how long it lasts. Hasn't been 48 hrs yet. I did modmail them in help about appeal and asked a couple questions about my unique situation. No response but no site wide ban yet, my two accounts still suspended. What gives? Are they teasing me? It's not shadow banned either. I will just give it time before their bot catches it. Maybe the admins are sitting back and waiting for it to happen. I swear they're incompetent if they have bots do their jobs for them and ignore users requests and modmails about suspensions.
Now I won't log into my banned accounts. I'm guessing emails that were associated with banned accounts will be auto suspended. Youtube works that way too. Have a recovery email linked to your email that was used with account that got banned, auto banned. I have different emails, including one from when I was 17 I hadn't used in years.
Oh yeah and I got two newsletters from reddit about how to get karma and then the second one telling me to get karma.
