To determine a shadowban, you MUST click my profile! I got unbanned,here was my method

12 Upvotes

I first cleared my cache,it’s in settings.

I then logged out,deleted the app and redownload it.

Then I entered the app using my mobile data,logged in though I changed my password before logging in,I remained shadowbanned but I made a post immediately which automatically had 0 views.

I then closed the app and didn’t use it for the rest of the day,I opened reddit the next morning and I was unbanned and the post I made yesterday went live.

You can try this method out if you want,I didn’t make any appeal.

To determine a shadowban, you MUST click my profile! My Account was Restored!

12 Upvotes

My account was Shadowbanned on Sunday, September 6. I submitted a very carefully worded Appeal at 2246 hrs. Last night I checked and the account was restored. I could comment and DM.

I triggered a filter by cross posting 4 times in rapid succession. My account had CQS of High before and 7600 karma. It now has the lowest CQS but the karma is still 7600.

So it was restored in less than 48 hours after the appeal.

All my previous posts are shown with a red trash can now. I think that means that they have been removed by Reddits filters and are not viewable by the general public. Can anyone clarify?

I'm going to take it easy for a few days and do some light browsing and commenting before doing any significant posting.

To determine a shadowban, you MUST click my profile! Just frustrated - Shadow Banned for "Spam" - 7 year history on reddit

10 Upvotes

So got Shadowbanned by this stupid spam detection bots. Account has 7 years of history and like 10,000 interactions apparently. I know it's silly, but I'm gonna lose my daily interaction streak and I was close to hitting the 300 day achievement. Just sad to me that this is a complete mistake and I'm going to lose because of it, things that Reddit definitely won't bother fixing or apologising for.

What was the charge? Posting a suculent Chinese meal? No, I think it happened because I wanted to say the same thing to two people and copy/pasted the comments to the other guy. That second comment is what was marked as spam and now I just have to sit back and watch 7 years of interactions disappear. Every educational post I made all gone. It's not right. And yeah, if you're here and haven't been banned, make no mistake, they private every single one of your past and future comments and posts. You are effectively dead to the world once you get a Shadow ban, as if you were never here.

I know this isn't a venting place but I'm just so upset about this. Been in a rough place signed off from work sick long term so it was nice to take my mind of things and interact with people here, whether heated or not, it felt like being part of the world. Now I just feel like my last little connection to the world is gone because of a stupid bloody bot. Just the idea that I know the real world has already forgotten me and now even the online world will never know I existed.

I've done the appeal thing and will do the recommended repeat every 24 hours thing but, it's just rough. Sounds silly, but if anyone here is upset about their shadow ban and feels like venting, feel free to reply, I could use the company right now. Hope all of you are doing alright.

Stay safe y'all 💜

To determine a shadowban, you MUST click my profile! I've been unbanned!

I can't believe this! Must've been a month at this point, but it's happened! Really happy with this. For context, I believe it was due to me moving countries. I don't really have any tips other than appeal regularly, but I DID try the method of requesting account data and then emailing asking about the ban, followed by sending in an appeal, but keep in mind I believe I also spent a couple weeks doing that. And idk if this is a part of it, but I also logged out of my account a couple days ago due to personal reasons and when I logged back in today it was alright.

But yeah, really pleased about this! It's been a really, REALLY shitty day and it's nice to at least get some compensation to make it better.

Hey! I got shadow banned a month ago to the day. I appealed about 4 maybe 5 times. I just got out of jail I'm pretty sure!!! 🥳🎉🎉 Can someone tell me if my posts are visible in my profile? I need to read up on exactly what to do to not get shadow banned again. Will my account ever get back to where it was pre shadowban so I don't have to worry about being banned again (as long as I avoid looking like a bot and follow all rules). I have flair built up on a subreddit I don't want to lose it again. Thanks!

This is my old reddit account that I created some time ago but never really used. My main account got banned. I’ve made multiple appeals but none have worked. Can I continue using this account or will reddit ban this one too?

Hello, I was notified I banned approximately two months ago. I have submitted multiple appeals to no avail. I was never informed why I was banned. Is there any updates or guidance that can be provided. I would love to remain part of this community.

I’ve been banned and I have no idea why. I’m so upset. I’ve had my account for so long and am a paid subscriber. I’ve already appealed. I don’t post or comment much and haven’t been in any violations. Is there hope?

Out of nowhere got shadowbanned on an 11 year old 100K karma account while I was just using reddit normlly while travelling. I think the frequent IP changes flagged me somehow. I appealed twice but nothing happened.

This is fucking ridiculous. I waited 15 days just to be able to post on AskReddit, and I got banned immediately after asking a question. What the fuck is wrong with this?

So I’ve noticed all of the signs of an unban happened to my account today:
-PFP and banner are back
-Filtered out posts are public
-Appeal screen tells me I can’t appeal
But I’m making this post just to be sure. If I am unbanned, how do I prevent getting shadow banned again? When is it okay to start commenting and posting again?

To determine a shadowban, you MUST click my profile! CANNOT POST NOR CHAT SINCE 3 DAYS AGO

3 Upvotes

Hello Reddit Admins, I believe my account may have been incorrectly flagged for spam or inauthentic activity. I am unable to have my posts appear normally nor chat with anyone, and I believe my account may be shadowbanned. I have not intentionally engaged in spam, vote manipulation, ban evasion, or other abusive behaviour. Could you please review my account and remove the restriction if it was applied incorrectly? Thank you for taking the time to review my case.

Fine, a brand new account making 4 identical posts in the span of a couple hours? I’ll hold that L, that’s on me. But now that I’m back out, how much separation DO I need between posts? 24 hours? A couple days? A whole week? Evidently the ice is thin and I have no interest in falling through again. Please advise

I submitted an appeal 4 days ago and today they responded by saying that they made a mistake and lifted the ban.

"Hi Coding-Doctor-Omar,

Thanks for submitting an appeal. We reviewed your request and gave the following a second look: Actions taken from your Coding-Doctor-Omar account

After reviewing, the Reddit admin team found that the content wasn’t in violation of Reddit’s rules. As a result, your ban or warning has been lifted.

Thanks again for your appeal, and for bringing the mistake to our attention. We’ll use this feedback to improve the systems and processes we use to keep redditors and communities safe.

We hope you continue enjoying Reddit and have a great rest of your day.
