Got banned for rule 3.

I’ll stay vague here for the sake of not giving TMI, but I will answer questions about specifics if needed.

I was on a NSFW sub dedicated to famous people in the industry. I shared some images there of some of these people as it’s pretty much the whole point of the sub.

Everything I shared was commercially produced, and legally available for free. These were not random individuals. These were some of the most well known people as far as this goes. Their faces show up in memes on SFW subs.

There is possibly one exception to this however, and I think this may be the reason I was banned. I was under the impression one of them was well seated in the commercial industry. But I’m thinking, actually, they mostly do content through social media and OF. Still, this person pop up everywhere on reddit from people who are definitely not her.

The message I got did not specify, but this is my best guess why I got banned. I did appeal, and it was rejected. Part of me thinks it’s something else. But I have no idea what it would be.

On one hand I’m kinda miffed that I was banned for posting popular adult actresses on a subreddit that was made for posting popular adult actresses.

On the other hand I’m not sure how bad I should feel about this.

    Afaik they don’t get in details on the reasons for bans, so while they’re as transparent as swamp water, anything’s on the table.

    This is not something you should care much about at all. Doesnt matter if it was BS because youll never get it reversed and Reddit is nuking NSFW content in the next year. A Reddit permaban is the prerequisite to sit at the cool kids table.

    Salt the earth. You can still edit past posts and fill them with AI generated slop. There are programs out there that can do this for you automatically.

    Don’t let Reddit kick you to the curb and still benefit from your past contributions.

        My accounts were permanently banned a year ago. At that time I was able to edit my old posts into whatever I wanted. I found a program that posted AI gibberish into every post and comment I had made for the last ten years.

        Edit: I believe I was able to do this by logging into “old Reddit”. I don’t believe the app let me do it.

    I mean, fuck reddit. A lot of individual subs are horrible, and the site as a whole is awful. If you want to stay at it, I’m sure there’s somewhere where you can post the same content. If not, great

      Not ever being able to use reddit again isn’t a huge issue for me. I was growing frustrated with it for a while.

      What had me worried was that this appeal (which I’m presuming was done by a human) upheld the ban. Being told essentially “you’ve broken rule 3 which is tantamount to posting creep shots” had me worried, like I was in some kind of serious trouble.

        What I find offensive and startling is when platforms accuse you of “encouraging violence” when you didn’t. That even happened to me on Twitter (pre musk!) regarding Trump, and their system is you have to basically admit you did it and delete the comment to use your account again. So I was like wtf, in order to proceed, I have to basically admit I made a threat against the president? When I DIDN’T? All I said was I thought he’d be too old and unhealthy to run in 2020. More recently I said Elron Musk hates poor people and basically wants them to die, and Reddit said the same thing, that was “wishing harm or violence” on someone. I hate this AI moderation bullshit. It was a 3 day ban but I deleted my account and haven’t been back.
