That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

A lot of the ban are automatic. Mods also use bots to make bans.
If you use a public computer, or an older system, you seem to get shadowbanned because your IP address is copied by a spammer and once that happens they use cross-editing to build a profile so even a new IP will get shadowbanned.
I think this is how i got banned. I used hotel wifi to save on data and I was listening to YouTube and I got on reddit forgetting I wasn't on mobile data. The suspension happened two weeks later and then my main account got banned because it was connected on my reddit app and logged in with my alt account.
I got kafkaesque banned. Just a generic message you get about multiple repeated violations when you have been suspended before and opened a new account and got caught for ban evasion. Reddit admins ignore appeals and messages about it. They let bots handle it. Even my friend tried to ask them for me in r/help about my unique situation but it got removed quickly.
My only defense is i never recieved any other messages about site rules I broke and no previous suspensions and I used hotel wifi and no other accounts are mine that got linked. They're supposed to have the 3 strike rule and 4th offense, perm suspension. I never got that.
I didn't get shadowbanned, I got site wide suspension.
I had the same message of bans, February. If any of your old accounts were permanent in a sub you will get the axe, even if you commented in the same sub more than 1 year later with a different account l.
But I never commented in subs i got banned from. That's the thing. I had been using my alt for a couple of months. I'm thinking it was an IP thing when I used hotel wi fi so another suspended account got linked to mine and whatever reddit admin did with their bot for updates got my accounts suspended hours apart. This isn't the first time reddit has messed up with their bots and knowledge it. They only do something about it when moderators make a big stink about bans like subreddit bans, bunch of their users getting banned. It's happened before. Then they fix it by uplifting the bans.
Some reason my new account isn't banned yet and I haven't commented. Maybe because I cleared cookies on my browsers, logged out of all suspended accounts, made a new one with email not associated with any emails to my banned accounts.
it seems like these types of ban are increasing, shadowbans that is? ive been noticing alot of people have been getting the banhammer. all you can do is appeal your original account, they ban any new account you create, if you havnt resolved your older one. the filters on reddit are extremely sensitive now. a simple comment removal is enough to trigger a ban, also accounts linking with another stranger can be a cause too, although theres no concrete proof.
Thing is my alt was ban first. Then my main. This is where its difficult.
it gets real fuzzy, but they seem to be retroactively banning accounts if your on a different acc, and they look at your connected accounts. but reddit is way too ban happy right now. before that i just used some of my warmed up or old accounts and avoid the sub that you got a violation on.
Yep!
