    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.

      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.
