Absurd Reddit Ban Solution. (lemmynsfw.com)

My account has been banned by reddit for a most absurd reason.

First, I recieved warnings text of which said they were auto generated. Since auto generated content is least reliable, I ignored them.

Second, the warnings were themself irrational. Social media always has a share button. If a post is supposed to remain private, either it should be mentioned on top of it or shall be posted in a private community. Posts I shared were on public pages and I did not claim copy right. In fact, details of model and photo studio were explicitly visible.

Now I'm very very disappointed by Reddit. What sort of naive policy is it. I had an account with 10K karma. Had made some original posts with 100s if likes n shares. I want my reddit account back. I don't want to make a new one. I want my original account un-banned. Kindly guide me how may I proceed??

Just use Lemmy.

Karma is absolutely worthless. So are up-votes.

    You say something is irrational but you don’t really explain it.

    What were you posting?

    I was sharing by pressing the share button the photographs on subreddits that were posting photos of models.

    If they were supposed to keep those photos private, a secret or hidden community should have been forned.

    If they felt like copyright is violated merely by sharing some post, when the model name and studio name were visible, they were wrong.

    Anything shared publicly will be reshared by the public.

    That's not how the rules work on Reddit and not really anywhere else either. For example, if you reposted in the context of exposing or harassing then they would see that as brigading. As with free speech, you're not free to do anything you like because you think it is justified.

    What you're doing is also an easy easy for bots to gain karma so the accounts can be sold to scammers so they may have thought you were a bot.

    Bot?? Oh, the long, Orgional Posts and discussions I had??

    By the way, the warning I received had it explicitly mentioned that it was auto generated. It seems like Reddit itself was using bots. Not me.

    Of course Reddit is using bots. Every subreddit has an automod which can send replies or messages, and a subreddit level ban message comes through as an automated message. That doesn't negate the fact that they may have thought you were a bot. This isn't some fairness democracy, it is their site and they can run bots and AI, and disallow users from being bots, if they want. That is not an uncommon scenario.

    As for your long and original posts, have you never asked chatgpt to compose something? It can be very lengthy and appear original.

    Karma farming (which is what you were doing) is strongly disliked at subreddit moderator level and seen as suspicious behaviour at admin level. Both regard it as spam.

    Lol, 10K karma. I deleted accounts every year or so to give myself a clean slate and would frequently deleted a few accounts with 6 digits of karma.

    Given how fucked Reddit has become, I left the platform and recommend others do the same.
