I think it started last week when my posts were not getting any upvotes at all. Then I posted a reddit link into incognito window and yep, my post appears as deleted. Probably because I was promoting kbin.social in some of the subreddits. F**kers. I accumulated 150K comment karma over the last 15 years.

Edit: looks like my account was deleted too. I can still log on with the same name but in an incognito mode, I don’t exist on reddit.

    Forever, unless you can get an admin to reverse it.

    If you’re shadow banned site wide you will see what you’re seeing now - the account just looks like it doesn’t exist when you try to go to your profiles page while not signed in.

    Your only hope is to message a reddit admin. Since you’ve been promoting kbin, good luck with that.

        Yep. I was accidentally site wide shadow banned by an admin bot once a few years, just had my comments suddenly stop getting responded to or up/down voted. Contacted an admin and thankfully they responded in a few hours and said my account got caught by a bot for some reason and un-shadow-banned me. Think my account was around 10 years old at that stage with 100k+ karma.

    Shadowbans are permanent. And that’s how a shadowban works, you don’t know you’re banned and can log in but you don’t exist to everyone else.
