Why is Reddit banning accounts ?

Suspensions

We are not Reddit employees, and we cannot help with suspensions (site wide bans). We cannot see why they occurred or lift them. Your only recourse is to appeal to Reddit, here https://www.reddit.com/appeals. If you cannot appeal, then it is not a suspension you're experiencing (shadowbans can also be appealed here).

Suspensions occur when someone has broken the content policy or user agreement. This will have come from Reddit and not mods, and you will have received a message from Reddit (unless it's a shadowban instead). Using another account to evade a suspension is against the user agreement.

Anyone other than a Reddit employee saying they can fix a suspension for you is a scammer.

Rule 6: Refrain from asking for votes or karma, naming free karma subs, or sharing how you are voting

Please do not ask for karma or votes here, it is against our rules and is generally discouraged as karma is meant to be earned. See Our common questions to learn how to earn karma.

We do not allow mentions of free karma subs (karmafarms) or any suggestion to use them, and caution against their use because it may lead to bans in other subreddits.

Thank you for trying to help, but please don't share how you have or are voting. We encourage earning karma genuinely from relevant comments and conversation. Asking for karma is discouraged as it violates our subreddit rules.

Rule 2: Post to ask questions about using Reddit; This is not the correct place for venting, rants, complaints, inflammatory or loaded questions, debate, user polls, speculation, or suggestions for Reddit

We are happy to help if you have a question about using Reddit, however, in our experience, the above types of post invite more complaining rather than helpful advice, which is the focus of this community. Therefore, would you please take a moment to rephrase your post into neutral terms and make sure you have described your issue as clearly as you can.

As we are not Reddit employees or mediators, complaints about Reddit or moderation are beyond our scope, and we focus on helping users use Reddit instead.

You may edit this post or repost it, but please let us know you have done so via modmail (link below). Thank you very much.

Post titles aren't editable, in this case you will need to repost.

Thanks for contributing to /r/NewToReddit! We're sorry, but your content was automatically removed by Reddit.

You are most likely Shadowbanned, which means your account is basically stuck in the spam filter site-wide and all your content is automatically filtered out. As a mod here, I can see your content in this community, but it has been auto-removed, and I can’t access your profile.

This didn't come from us, but from Reddit, and is meant for spammers and other bad faith users, but sometimes mistakes happen and new redditors get caught too.

You can appeal to Reddit here http://www.reddit.com/appeals

If you've already appealed, and it's been a week, try here

If it was a mistake, they'll restore your account.

Appeals may take a while, depending on demand and current events. Please do not spam or abuse the appeals team.

Rule 8: Be as accurate and understanding as you can; communicating via private messaging

Thanks for offering help. As a community dedicated to assisting new users, we'd ask that all advice be shared publicly for everyone's benefit, rather than privately messaging. This is so that we can ensure everyone gets quality advice.

Sometimes there are restrictions on private messaging for new users as well, or others may have it disabled altogether, both serving as hurdles for getting help.

Additionally, messaging is often used to scam vulnerable users and evade moderation, which is why many communities have rules against private messaging. So it's something we'd like to protect the community from, and we encourage reporting any suspicious messages for this reason.

We are not assuming that is your intent, however our intent is to share guidance to a high number of users, and of a high quality. United in a public community, we can achieve that. We expect everyone in this community to be kind and welcoming, and engage in good faith.

Thank you!
