    I never got a response from Reddit regarding my account unknown state, too - https://www.reddit.com/user/serious_angel

    I’d been using that account for years, and I can use it, and I do now. I do comment, vote, save bookmarks etc.

    I’ve tried contacting the official Reddit via Email, and their automation tells to write them using the website form. I tried that too, at least 8 times over 4 recent years - no response. Never.

    After several attempts, I tried sending messages to moderators in general Communities like /r/Laravel or /r/AskReddit, and I received response from them only, in a built-in chat, but when I try responding back - Error. Their response was to contact the official support, obviously.

    Meanwhile, the account is marked as “banned”, if I am not mistaken, yet I never ever did anything to get banned in the first place I believe. I awarded other comments with money, purchased “NFT” avatars, so I contributed monetarily to the platform, too.
    It just, all of a sudden, got “banned”, and for literally unknown reason. Again, I got that after years, too! No message from Reddit regarding it I found ever, and to a popular M

    People don’t even see my comments, and I had been commenting for at least a year before even realizing no one sees them! I accidentally noticed that when tried surfing to my account via “incognito mode”, and since then I’ve been trying to figure out what is wrong - yet no response:

      You can try making a new account with temorary email, 30 min window on guerillamail, sign up, verify the email, and you are in.

      I abandon accounts after a second violation, it seems like once your account gets hot they find dishonest reasons to violate you on subjects other than the real reason you are targeted. They can blame the ai moderation, or not because we have no rights in the us. Companies can unfairly enforce rules and government and big biz can get their hooks in the company to pervert their moderation in ways it cannot be proven.

      But if the same ip it could follow you, and even if not they could still tell if they really want, your data is their business. But check reveddit for ways to tell right away if your account is shadowbanned.

        Thank you very much for sharing about the /r/ShadowBan Community! I’ve read their pages, and the tutorial regarding appealing, and it the form at /appeal does indeed offer a field for submission!

        Previously, I used the second appealing method, likely powered by ZenDesk. but no response. Yet, it is the first time I used the aforementioned form, and I hope to receive response eventually!

        Regarding the ban-evasions (multiple accounts, Emails), I had a quite sorrowful case with it on Freenode/Libera IRC, where an operator (I would name them… but won’t - it feels impolite, since they are not here), had been banning me for literally unknown reason at least 8 times in a few months, and for weeks, in the channel #linux. I’ve been in this channel since at least 2007, and these bans not only caused me much worries, but I just tried to realize the reason. I wrote them in private - nothing.
        Here, I a created new account at Freenode, they banned me, too (Linux Community prohibits “alts”). I created another, and got a network K-line. Created another - got another K-line, and here I damaged my reputation in the channels who saw the K-line on the network, to such a low level I still try to recover. And when you try explaining the matter, it gets only worse…

        Just a few believe you on IRC if you get K-lined. After a year of making a mental pause< I re-joined, and got almost instantly ridiculed by another member who recalled me being “banned so many times”, yet what I could do? No one listened to me and no one believed I had no idea why that operator was banning me in the first place, including other operators.

        What is interesting is that this operator is not an operator anymore the last time I checked, though 4 years have passed since.

        Regardless… Thank you, and please do stay safe, too! 🛡

      Sounds like you were shadow banned for something. Your account is still active and you can post, but no one sees them. A lot of people see this is cowardly, but many platforms use it because if you outright ban a bad actor, there’s little stopping them from making a new account and continuing doing whatever it was that got them banned.
