Question about a Reddit sitewide permaban
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 ??

At some point, a social media governance system has to declare a moderation decision final. No idea how many shots you get at any given appeal, but knowing that Reddit is trying to minimize payroll because profit model ... you likely exhausted your
hunanhuman interventions.You've been permabanned, had an appeal considered and then double-perma banned, take the hint.
The appeal process is checked by a human afaiu, it seems more that you just are not happy with the response, crying over the phone to a human is just gonna be a long a drawn out third perma-ban.
Move on dude, learn from what went wrong and use it to better interact on other platforms.
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
I'd give it up as a lost cause tbh. Reddit are generally shit at moderation.
I was perma banned for saying some folks should die. It was after someone posted a pic showing some people that had dogs that have been deliberately inbred to have inturned feet and squashed faces.
As a dog/animal lover that boiled my blood really badly and I went off on one. It should never have been allowed to be posted but there we go. Reddit being fucktards.
Also I was real, not a bot and they've lost me for good now.

Just like Facebook, got hacked and put in an appeal loop so I physically could not appeal unless I had access to the hacked account. Literally no way to get in contact with a human unless you have a legal team.
