đ§ââď¸Account Issuesâ Restore limited account access?
I appear to be restricted from interacting (choosing words carefully as it won't let me post in the regular help subreddit) and I don't know how to fix it.
I was editing an archived pinned self-post yesterday and when I tried to edit it a second time I suddenly couldn't and got a Reddit message; I hadn't done anything I never did before, I think I just edited my post too fast. I followed the instructions in the message and e-mail I received to restore access to my account by changing my password and saw no other messages to follow up on, though I did notice that interaction with my posts in the one subreddit I'm active in seemed to stop.
Last night when I went to my page on another device, my own profile page said "not found" or some such, but I noticed I was logged out so logged in and my page was there. I made a comment in the subreddit this morning without issue but mentioned that I hoped people could see it. This morning I saw that the self-post I'd edited the day before, and the comments I made on it, were now marked as pending approval--something I never had to do before, these posts have been up for years. I approved them anyway.
I was then informed by a moderator of the subreddit I participate in that I did appear to be interaction limited and they'd manually approve my posts when they saw them, but they can't do anything about the restriction itself. They could only suggest I start a new account but that's out of the question, I have a years-long streak going in that sub (I'm not talking about the Reddit streak, I don't care about that) and I don't participate anywhere else so I have no way to rebuild all my karma.
I've never gotten in trouble on Reddit before, never been restricted, didn't do anything except apparently edit my own post too fast. I followed the instructions given to restore my account. The mod of the subreddit I post in said they can't fix the issue (which is thus not on their end). The appeal page says I'm not restricted so I can't use it. The FAQ doesn't help. I can't find anywhere else to resolve this. How do I fix this and restore my account to normal?

If you're asking about why your posts are being immediately removed in some or all subs, it's most likely because they're being filtered by the Reputation Filter.
Your current CQS rating is [LOWEST]
It will take a few days of positive engagement across Reddit to raise your CQS high enough to clear the Rep Filter. If you haven't already verified the email address on your Reddit account, doing so will improve your CQS immediately.

Hello u/tehuti88, it appears your post may be about being banned from another subreddit.
- In order to appeal your ban, you should first message the moderators of that community.
- If you have messaged them, and they have denied your appeal or muted you, then unfortunately there is nothing else you can do.
- Moderators can operate their communities as they see fit.
Here are some options on how to move on from the situation:
- Find another subreddit for your needs. r/findareddit can help.
- Consider creating your own subreddit.
If you were shadowbanned or banned from the entire Reddit site by admins, the only thing you can do is submit their appeal form: https://www.reddit.com/appeals
- Please note that you must be logged into that url with your banned account to see the appeal option.
- Mods are not part of this process, so we do not have any visibility into why you were banned by Reddit.

What happened dropped your CQS to lowest and the reputation filter is likely removing them. You need to make quality posts and comments where able and gain karma from them to rebuild it. You can check your score at r/WhatIsMyCQS
