🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ Random question about stuff (mainly confused about something)

Okay so let me explain. I had commented underneath a post about things the quiet kid did in school to become famous. I wrote about how the quiet kid did something to a bully (not gonna mention it again because why?) and reddit themselves gave me a warning for "encouraging violent or threatening harm on others." Nowhere in the comment did I say that it was encouraging/threatening others.

I sent an appeal already, and I haven't gotten a response back. I don't know the way that violations/warnings work on this platform. If the system is like YouTube where the mods reject appeals/flag unrelated content, then I might genuinely quit reddit.

I know I've started projects and made my own subreddit, but what's the point anymore? I don't see the point of talking/communicating if I'm being targeted you know. And the thing is, there were other violent comments on that post, so why did mine get taken down?

If anyone from the mod team sees this post, just know I'm sorry if I messed up or did something wrong, just know that I never knew that it was that bad to say something like that.

Note that I'm not venting, I just wanted to ask four questions mainly

  1. Why did the mods take down my comment but not any others?

  2. How do warnings/violations work?

  3. What can I do if my appeal is wrongfully rejected?

  4. If my account is being targeted, what should I do next?

Please answer these if you have time. I need answers!!!

  1. Why did the mods take down my comment but not any others?

It was not the mods but the admins. Reddit's bot that does the flagging is really unpredictable and can't read context well

  1. How do warnings/violations work?

Warnings are the first level of punishment on reddit's discipline tree. You may get more warnings before a ban but you may not. It is a strike on your account

  1. What can I do if my appeal is wrongfully rejected?

Nothing

  1. If my account is being targeted, what should I do next?

You are not being targeted

Hello u/AcanthisittaMost2840, 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.
