Did you contact Reddit? A similar thing happened to me a few years ago, turns out I had accidentally upvoted my own content from a different account. Admins replied to the e-mail with an explanation, and fixed it quite fast.


I did and got back what appeared to be an automated reply given the near immediate response.

>Thanks for submitting an appeal to the Reddit admin team. We've reviewed your request and your appeal will not be granted and your ban will remain in place.

It's really a bummer to lose an 18+ year account that I've accumulated so many friends and community relations, and one that is tied to a common public nickname I use on socials and is literally tattooed on my arm. So I figured I'd wait a year and request again.


But that was years ago. Since shortly before the API purge, all you get is an auto response of "we have reviewed your report and there was no mistake."


In my case it was 3 months ago:
