I recently got permanently banned for “report abuse”
I reported 5 or so posts for breaking the subs rules [they were extremely obvious], and even copied the rule straight from the sidebar into the reason field. Few minutes later I got banned and muted from the sub, with no warning or explanation. Day later I get a message saying my account has been permanently suspended from reddit.
So take that a a lesson, don’t report anything, you’re putting your account at risk each time.
Still haven’t heard back on the appeal, which is a joke too, you only get 250 characters to plead your case and can’t even attach screenshots or documentation.
This doesn’t replace mods. It’s just another way for reddit admins to find ways to auto perma-ban users.
My account, Melkath, got banned at least twice for horseshit reasons.
Mostly me being outspokenly against naziism.
It’s still live tho. Because I mostly use kbin now.

Yup. Don’t expect a response.
Only reason I got a response/unban was because the mass exodus was happening.
Nothing for 3 months, then traffic dropped and a day later I was reinstated.
