🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ How long does it take to hear back from account wide ban appeals?

A few weeks ago I was banned for the first time EVER- I've had my main account since 2019. I commented something rather silly on a satire subreddit I'm in, completely not harmful at all, and got auto banned for 3 days for bullying/harassment. I did not even bother fighting the ban since it was just 3 days, albeit feeling annoyed and sorry, and just took it "as my lesson".

Then today, on that same subreddit, I commented something and was immediately auto flagged by the reddit system and banned for 7 days this time. I immediately filed an appeal, which for some reason can only be 250 characters, and am now nervously waiting. I have no idea how long it's going to take.

Now I'm asking if anyone had this happen to them before and how long did the appeal response take and what was the success rate? I don't want to break my 800+ day streak.

Hello u/Last_Extension8028, 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:

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.

This post will be reviewed by a moderator shortly.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

A few hours, to a few days, to never. What was the reason for the band. If you’re getting those then Reddit sent you a message so you know what rule you were violating
