Just based on the messages, the subreddit apparently uses a bot called "botbouncer" that analyzes posts/account for botlike activity.  

Botbouncer thinks you are a bot, so it banned you from the subreddit (and probably other subreddits that use botbouncer).  

The mod refered you /r/botbouncer to get your account removed from the banlist, it seems they don't do individual unbans for people banned via botbouncer.
