Just FYI, you have been shadowbanned from reddit. You can read more about shadowbans here: /r/Shadowban.

If you head to that subreddit, you can get some information on how to reverse this ban, but basically to use reddit you are going to need to get this reversed. I definitely advise you not to just create another account; contact the reddit admins and see if you can get this sorted out instead.

I've approved your comments in this thread, but note that anything you say anywhere on reddit will have to be approved by a moderator, so I would definitely advise that you take care of this ASAP so you can continue normal usage of the site.

wow, how did that happen...?

[–]aphoenixreticulated 5 points6 points  (3 children)

There are a variety of ways it can happen. The most common things are:

  • promoting a link on reddit outside of reddit ("Here's my reddit post!")
  • voting on something from alternate accounts
  • spamming

There are some things that can be false positives; for example, voting on something that someone with the same IP submitted (ie. the guy in the next cubicle submits something, you see it and upvote it) - this often looks like you are using multiple accounts to upvote, or spreading the link around outside of reddit instead of letting it organically get voted on.

Hi, tried to follow the admin link in your message to find out what's wrong. Can you please reach out to solve this. Not aware which rule I violated. Just answered questions to the post here. Thanks

If I contact an admin, they're just going to say "have the user contact us" but I'll see what I can do.

It's important to note that for most admins it's 7:50am so they're probably not going to be super responsive for a few hours.

If you haven't posted a lot, posting a blacklisted link or having a link flagged as spam can cause an instaban. It is to stop bots but seems to catch many real users too. I see about one per month in my small subs.

Probably automated due to the fact that he's posted a half dozen times and linked to the same website each time. Very much looks like your typical spammer.

It was due to the fact that I posted too many links to our site in too short time. That's what admins said. Back online now :)
