About a year ago I created my one and only reddit account. Never had one before. I work at a place that is semi virtual. We are required to come into the office 2 days a week. No one has their own dedicated PC. You just pick whatever is available and sign in. Obviously everyone is using the same internet access.

When at the office and I need a break I would visit a few groups of interest on Reddit. Groups that have ZERO to do with politics or anything controversial. I have never made a post or comment about anything political or controversial. I’m in groups like NFL and Dogs.

A week ago I get a message that my account is suspended for 7 days because of a violation of a “linked” account. I have NO linked account. I only use reddit while at work and no where else. I didn’t appeal when I saw the message, I just said whatever. But yesterday I log in and now I am permanently banned.

Anyone have an explanation of what is going on and how to actually get unbanned.

    I got banned for saying that I wish Marjorie Taylor green would trip and swallow her own head. I was inciting violence apparently. I had a 13 year old account :/ I appealed and they said there was no error, I was basically a terrorist.

      Listen peon, we’ve got SLAs to meet with the language data purchaser, and your organic conversation stunt will not taint the product if we have any say in it. Return to your oar! Fix your loincloth too…

      I have a suspicion that Reddit’s anti evil operations team is basically a bunch of low wage workers with very rudimentary English skills who don’t understand or even look at any sort of context.

      I had accounts banned for the absolute dumbest and most mundane things. Hell, even pop culture references can get you perma-banned and the appeal rejected. Meanwhile, you report literal calls for genocide or violence and you get a message that the reported content didn’t violate their terms of service.

      It’s a complete clown show at this point.

        They cannot understand the English language or how punctuation can change meaning at all.
