A few months ago I got permabanned from Reddit for multiple violations over time. Most violations were self-deprecating humor or suicidal jokes, that got falsely flagged as rule 1 (inciting violence against someone else) due to their shitty AI moderation.

I didn’t appeal the initial violations because I was stupid and didn’t expect it would snowball into a permaban.

After I got my permaban, I managed to appeal most of the previous infractions that led to the permaban, but the final infraction had it’s appeal denied so I’m still considered permabanned.

Obviously I cannot appeal a second time, and Reddithelp doesn’t provide any way to contact the Reddit team, the “My account has been wrongly suspended” option doesn’t let you send a request… Is it genuinely impossible to get in contact with a human on their team ??

    ayyyyy that was my exact same trespass. but they also didn’t like that I spread my activity out over alts.

    long story short, no. the people who flagged your account are conditioned to see any kind of friction as a bad actor and and they aren’t going to hear you out. and the living human site admins are just trying for their lives to not interact with moderators or users. your requests will be sent between automated reviews until a human strikes it down. you will be notified by an automated message.

    If you still have an account to browse with, just read through posts about admins and the appeals processes on r/modhelp. it will give you an idea about what communication looks like outside the user sphere
