  Reddit is heavily moderated by ******************************** employees that actively and aggressively ban people that try to post about Russian active measures on Reddit. The admins of Reddit are well aware that their site is largely being moderated by foreign political agitation shills and are covering it up because its providing them millions in free labor and at this point they are entirely dependent on Russian/Chinese/Indian/Iranian/etc shill farm employees. As part of their platforming of belligerent foreign fascists they have allowed for Depression Memes platforms moderated by Russians to push suicide memes and kys memes in predictable patterns that precede political events. This fall will see the highest volume of demoralization and depression content targeted at young ********* ever, it is already at higher levels now than it was when it peaked in November 2016 (in 2020 the Russian shill farm responsible, Infektion 2, was pushing antivax/antimask propaganda). Basically there is an ongoing depression/demoralization campaign going on being conducted by active geopolitical enemies of *****************, targeting children, and Reddit is knowingly platforming and protecting it. Theyre guilty of treason but thats not your department I reckon.

  Trying to appeal a permanent Reddit ban is like pulling teeth. Initially, they banned my account because I had fallen for a troll's Rage Bait and told him to "Choke on butter". The troll then reported every person that responded to him in that thread as told by another user. I was given a 7 day suspension which I was more than happy to abide by. I closed and deleted the app after that. but the problem is, I have another account logged in on my browser at all times. I frequently ****** questions about certain things like cosplay or advice, and reddit is always the #1 thing to pop up. I very much enjoy the site because it's very useful for me when troubleshooting problems. Clicking the link beoyught me to the post mentioned in the ****** search. Before I even did anything, Reddit senses me using this alternate account due to it already being logged in by default and immediately bans me for "Ban evasion". I dont even recall making any sort of post on my alt account after I was banned on my main one.Their "Robot response" to appeals is faulty at best and at worst does absolutely nothing no matter what it is your banned for. Leaving me to file an "Appeal". Not only am I limited to ***************** the appeal, but they NEVER get back to me in a timely manner, it takes them at most 6 entire months to actually do something. I feel as though that is both impractical and lazy, it shouldn't *********** months just to have a human look over my ban a second time. I seek the guidence of certain subreddits every single day for projects or technical advice. So this ban is a huge pain for me due to lack of options and how heavily i depend on the site sometimes. I just want to be able to use the website again and ask questions.

  I am rejecting this response because: I know I contacted reddit already about this. Not only did I get an automated response, but you guys STILL havent answered any of the 10 appeals I made nor the two tickets I opened about it. I JUST checked my email and still no response from an actual human. All I want is to talk to an actual real life Reddit admin to discuss this with. Like I'm doing here, and to have my sentence lightened. The troll was apparently targeting me and just mass reported my account.

  I recently reported to you guys that the moderators of r/lego had issued a ban against my profile despite me having never used the site, claiming that it was "Brigading" to simply reference a post on their sub anywhere on the site in a less than completely positive light in ANY context. You subsequently denied the report. This clearly tells me that you condone moderators banning people for completely arbitrary reasons, contrary to moderation guideline 5 "Moderate with Integrity".This is disgusting. Regardless of what's happens in response to this complaint, I will be canceling my premium subscription.I'm not the only user who's been subject to this kind of arbitrary moderation abuse. Many other users have had similar issues with the moderators of r/lego.

  The action taken was in violation of your own policies. You're allowing your community moderators to abuse their powers like they're tinpot dictators. If this isn't resolved then the next step will be taking this to arbitration.

  Hello, my account on ********************** has been banned site-wide permanently due to a comment I made. The comment was about former *** star *********************, who is now passed away. I understand it was a controversial comment and I shouldnt have said it. My account was banned from the *** subreddit for 3 days. I made another account and did not realize I can not post on the *** page until my other account was unbanned. This resulted in all of my accounts being banned permanently. I have not been able to post and comment on anything now. This has been going on for a couple months. I know I made a mistake but I would like to be unbanned and be able to use Reddit normally again. My main account username is Supersickx3. I then created another account with the username Far_following9948 and -DuedLe. I do not care about these accounts because they are newly created. If needed, I do not mind creating a new account to start fresh. I take accountability for the inappropriate comment I made and am requesting to be unbanned from the site please. If there is any other information needed let me know and I will provide it. Thank you.

  Reddit banned me for simple speaking out my opinions and the facts. The ************* blocked me so I cant appeal. They suppressed my freedom of speech because I do not share their vision. This is dangerous for American, they are trying to censor everything that they dont like. I want the state GA and governor look into it. They are trying to take the First Amendment away from the people and they cannot getting away. I did not harassment anyone.

  My reddit account was banned from Reddit, and I was not provided a reason. I tried to appeal the ban, but was only given a word count of 250 words to appeal my case. After the appeal and days later, Reddit said that my appeal was denied. I still was not given a reason for my ban, I was not provided the opportunity to explain my case, and I never spoke with an actual representative from Reddit. I believe I was wrongly banned, and possibly discriminated against. I have gone through Reddit and seem countless users threatening to kill others, calling other slurs, calling for violence and much more. I know that if I did something, it was nowhere near what these people have done, yet they still have accounts. In fact, some of them are moderators of subreddits, which entails giving them more power than the average user. I would like my ban to be appealed, I would like an explanation of my ban, and I would like an explanation of why users on their site can call for violence or threaten other uses while keeping their accounts and even being moderators of subreddits. My account name is ******************* really do not want any trouble. I just want my account banned. I also want Reddit to ****** a safe community and would like the accounts mentioned in the picture to be permanently banned. I have also forwarded their information to the *** for the threats of violence, as well as this message that I have typed.

  I am rejecting this response because:  As per original screenshot & complaint:  CANNOT CONTACT REDDIT VIA SUPPORT FOR PREVIOUSLY LISTED REASONS.  Please review ALL information provided so when you contact reddit back and they tell you I haven't contacted them ITS BECAUSE I CANNOT SUMBIT A REQUEST THOUGH REGULAR CHANNELS AS PREVIOUSLY STATED.  They need to unlink from their end as they WILL NOT accept any request or contact from me.  I do not feel this issue needs to be litigated but I will not have a 3rd party remained linked to my email if I am not using their services.  Please, please, please read everything in the complaint from now on.

  Reddit has been allowing misinformation, calls for violence and extremist hate against Jewish people to thrive. I have made several complaints which are either "not against policy" or I am told that I am the problem. This platform is becoming a dangerous site where people can be radicalized and they are not listening to people's concerns about it.
