I was very late to the Reddit party and created my first account a year or two ago.
I posted a little bit and then one day had a big red banner on the top telling me that my account was suspended for violating the TOS (my posts were on a puppetry subreddit about puppets and were very "normal" posts... how I could have violated the TOS was beyond me). I immediately appealed and the suspension was lifted (without any explanation as to what caused my account to be suspended in the first place). But even though my account is able to post and do everything a non-suspended account can, there's still that red banner at the top every time I access the website telling me my account was suspended and to check my inbox messages for instructions on how to appeal.
That user experience kind of killed any desire of mine to ever use Reddit again.

I used their appeal page, got a message apologizing and saying my appeal was granted... ... But it's still shadowbanned and everything I ever wrote over those years is still gone, except now the appeals page doesn't even work because it claims my account is in good standing. So I went looking for some kind of human help or support, but another old Reddit account (a resurrected job search throwaway from 5+ years ago) got immediately killed the exact same way, the lying "granted" appeal and all! It certainly revitalized my interest in using personal-blogging for information instead of contributing anything to Reddit's decaying ecosystem.
- Max-Ganz-II 3y agoRather the same here. A month or two after my main account was banned (see my other post in this thread), I logged into a second account which I'd not logged into for months. Upon logging in, I discovered the account was "permanently suspended", and the reason for this was, and I quote; "Your account has been permanently suspended for ."

- gosub100 3y agoJust a guess it was from one of the bot purges and somehow they thought you were on a phoney account.
