So, I have a main account, where I’m the asshole editor with lots of opinions, and then two others for things a bit more spicy.
Both of those have been suspended for “suspicious activity” roughly 30 hours apart. For, you know, posting what I usually do.
The thing is, one of these – I’m in the eight-year club there – is associated with an email address that was terminated for lack of use, so I can’t reset my password as prescribed.
The other was suspended yesterday every single time I posted anything, resulting in multiple password resets. I’ve not posted anything there today, but … hey, look, it’s suspended again.
Is Reddit just making a hard turn toward banning adult content? r/help seems to have a few other people in my boat wondering what the fuck is going on, but I can’t find any sources suggesting a shift in policy. And I can’t post in r/help on my main … the submit button does nothing.
Reddit is corporate-controlled and moderators/administrators can run amok so easily. I was banned from /r/news years ago with no explanation…I appealed several times with no responses.
I founded /r/AskBibleScholars and have no issues there.
I believe that you already know the answers to your own questions.
I also had an account that made it to the frontpage once with a gif that I illustrated and animated myself. Shortly after, the account got shadow banned an I never learned why. Didn’t post anything illegal or even weird with it. Reddit moderation is such a shit show.
The speed at which these suspensions are being done suggests zero human input. And I know the difference between mod removal and a sitewide blanket suspension.
