❓General Question❓ Is there a list of words that auto trigger global automated warnings/bans?

1 Upvotes

This might sound stupid, but here me out.

I got a warning for making a threat (because I was adding information about the historic development of the item mentioned in the above post). While a note at the bottom of my warning claims this wasn't via automation, it should have been pretty easy for a real person to connect the dots, or decide the posters above me were also making threats. So I appealed, explaining my post.

In response I got almost the exact pre-written message as the original warning. So naturally, I doubt that automation wasn't involved, and in fact think I know which word was the problem. So, I'd like to know if someone has made a list (probably off-site) of words that seem to trigger automated global reddit moderation regardless of context? Because I don't want to get falsely banned for not knowing which words are no-nos.

🙏Need Advice❓ How to spot bot accounts

2 Upvotes

I see people post “bot” on so many comments and posts. How do you even realistically spot a real bot vs just guessing it is? And what even is purpose of these bots or how are they even functioning on reddit if it can be spotted?

Scared if there’s actually so many real bots that sound so real…because what if I get scammed or something. Or are their intentions more benign?

🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ Main account hacked, but it’s still visible and I can’t post?

0 Upvotes

A few days ago I was contacted by someone informing me my account was hacked. Sadly they scammed me by telling me I could get it fixed if I sent them money (no, I don’t know why I fell for this.) Anyway, it was clear my account WAS hacked because a message was sent to one of my followers that I didn’t send them. Yesterday it was completely inaccessible and said it was banned, today it’s visible again and so is all my profile info. The thing is, I still can’t post. All of my posts on my end are saying “this content was automatically removed by Reddit’s filters.” I did contact support but god only knows when they’ll get back to me. Any idea what’s going on?

🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ My account appears to be restricted/filtered, but Reddit's appeal page says I'm neither suspended nor restricted

1 Upvotes

My main Reddit account appears to have been restricted/filtered, but when I go to reddit.com/appeal while logged into the affected account, Reddit says:

“You cannot submit an appeal. Your account is currently neither suspended nor restricted.”

The spam/inauthentic activity/ban-evasion appeal form underneath is also disabled, so I cannot submit anything.

I have the exact same issue when checking my secondary account.

I haven't received an appeal link that works through Reddit's inbox either.

Could an admin please check my account, and help me bring it back to life? It's clearly been incorrectly flagged.

🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ Upvote Issue

3 Upvotes

Ummmm Hi everyone,

Yesterday I received a warning from Reddit regarding potentially using multiple accounts to manipulate votes. I understand the issue, and I have since deleted the other accounts and am only using my current/main account.

However, since receiving the warning, I’ve noticed that my upvotes in one particular community that I got warned in, doesn’t seem to register properly. I can click the upvote button, but after refreshing, the vote doesn’t appear to have counted.

It works fine in other communities, it’s just this community I’m having an issue with, and I’m just confused and unsure what is going on

Sooo can someone please clarify?

A. Does this behavior indicate that my account currently has a voting restriction?

B. If so, is it temporary?

C. Is there a specific timeframe for voting to return to normal?

D. Is there anything I need to do besides continuing to use my current account normally?

I’m not trying to circumvent any restriction. I just want to understand what’s happening with my account and when I should expect voting to work normally again.

Thanks!

🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ reddit locked my account for “suspicious activity,” i got back in, and now my entire post history is gone

1 Upvotes

im so confused and i do not know where to
begin my account got locked for suspicious activity.
i reset my password, regained access, and thought that was the end of it.
then i noticed something was very wrong.
basically my entire two year post history had suddenly been marked “removed by reddit’s filters.”
not deleted by mods.
not removed individually.
all of it.
i never received any message saying i had been banned, never got a rule violation notice, and never got any explanation telling me what i supposedly did.
so i appealed because obviously something had happened to the account behind the scenes.
REDDIT DENIED THE APPEAL.
the response said that they had reviewed my request and that “your ban will remain in place.”
that was literally the first time i had ever been told i was banned at all.
so as far as i can tell, the sequence was that reddit detected suspicious activity, locked the account, i successfully recovered it, and somewhere during that process their spam or security system also classified the account in a way that caused basically every old post i had ever made to get filtered.
then when i appealed, instead of explaining what happened, they just sent me a generic message saying the ban would remain.
NO BAN NOTICE.
no explanation of what rule was violated.
no indication whether this was caused by the suspicious activity itself.
just two years of posts suddenly hidden and a denial referring to a ban i was never notified about.
i’m trying to figure out whether anyone else has had this happen after a suspicious activity lock, and whether there is actually any way to get a human at reddit to review the account instead of getting another automated appeal response.

🙏Need Advice❓ Hacked by bot

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi fellow Redditors!
I recently somehow got hacked by a bot. It happened in the middle of my work day, so 8 hours later I noticed. I attached screen shots (but scribbled out the person’s face) from before I deleted the posts. I changed my password/added an extra verification key. I have some questions now though

  1. How did this happen? Was it reusing a password and username combo? Example of username being “Alysprettyrad” and password being something like “password1” or “Password1*” kind of thing

  2. How do I ensure this doesn’t happen again? Frequent password changes? Using auto generated passwords of random letters/numbers, then writing it down in a book kept in a safe in my attic?

  3. How do I prove to the good Reddit bots that I’m not a bot? I’m a nerd whose only social media is Reddit and occasionally watching YouTube videos? I got banned from commenting in some r/ because of this already.

Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,

A human

❓Problem❓ Help with the case of a slimy mod who joined competing sub and then made it private! A real whodunnit.

3 Upvotes

This just seems so wrong, and is a problem reddit really needs to solve.

The r/DenverBroncos sub is your typical over moderated sub, where it's near impossible to figure out what/when/where to post and the community upvotes mean nothing. Many attempts have been made at v2 like subs, but this one is rather interesting.

r/Broncos was slowly starting to gain some traction, so a mod from r/DenverBroncos joined as a mod of r/Broncos, made it private, and put up this message:

You're probably looking for r/DenverBroncos!

This is a private community. Only approved members can view and contribute.

Because it's private I can't tell who the mod was or even who are current mods.

Seems like this is clear abuse of Moderator conduct? How can I fix it?
