So, I have a main account, where I’m the asshole editor with lots of opinions, and then two others for things a bit more spicy.

Both of those have been suspended for “suspicious activity” roughly 30 hours apart. For, you know, posting what I usually do.

The thing is, one of these – I’m in the eight-year club there – is associated with an email address that was terminated for lack of use, so I can’t reset my password as prescribed.

The other was suspended yesterday every single time I posted anything, resulting in multiple password resets. I’ve not posted anything there today, but … hey, look, it’s suspended again.

Is Reddit just making a hard turn toward banning adult content? r/help seems to have a few other people in my boat wondering what the fuck is going on, but I can’t find any sources suggesting a shift in policy. And I can’t post in r/help on my main … the submit button does nothing.

    I was banned quite some time ago. I was a 13 year user at that time. I used Reddit without any issues for many years, until a few years back when my posts started to get removed and got temporary bans. I was permanently banned for a response to a post where someone that said it was a women’s own fault for getting raped as they should dress appropriately, that man was hit by a woman. I posted that he deserved that. I got banned right away for “inciting violence”. I guess it is OK to incite rape? I don’t really miss it that much, but maybe I’ll still try again some time. I’ll just refrain from any meaningful discussion.
