Dear Reddit Moderators/Admins,
I’m writing to sincerely apologize for my irrational behavior that led to my ban. I fully acknowledge that my use of abusive and hateful language was unacceptable, against Reddit’s rules, and harmful to the community. I deeply regret my actions and the negative impact they may have had on others.
I would like to express my regrets over my burst of emotions, sending abusive dms to multiple people who were abusing our country and some who posted comments threatening to grape and harm my family but removed them before I could report. Due to having lost two loved ones in the war in Jammu a few days ago, I was in a very toxic mental space and abused several people from the other country. I would like to express my sincerest apologies and regrets over such stupid and unacceptable behaviour.
Since then, I have seeked help for my mental health and stability (contacted a working professional, starting therapy today) and am willing to work towards making reddit safer and eliminate negativity spread by me by blocking every political/war-affected region’s subreddit from my reddit feed, restricting my interactions on reddit to only the teenager subs and fandoms as well as sports and cats, that’s it.
This incident taught me a lesson about violent mental outbursts and I feel extremely sorry for the rage I spewed, no matter the context saying those things is wrong. I am sincerely requesting an unban and am willing to co-operate with the mods by requesting a shadow-ban of atleast 1 month on my account, but requesting it’s restoration as well.
I have been a part of reddit for over 3 years now and I now understand the gravity of the hateful words I said. I’m hopeful that therapy will lead me towards being a better person, both online and offline.
I can assure you with utmost respect and sincerity that I shall never repeat and incident such as this ever again and will only work towards spreading positivity and light-hearted, SFW humour.
Expressing my sincerest apologies and requesting a final unban as well as a shadow-ban for a few weeks. Please consider this request, I shall forever regret my actions. Due to the war-torn situation, my only friends are on reddit at this moment. Reddit used to be my escape from the scary reality and break from my studies and issues after getting diagnosed with sleep apnea and anxiety syndrome. Please, I am requesting this unban with my sincerest regrets.🙏 Expecting a response and again expressing my deepest regrets. I am willing to do anything asked of me to get my account restored.
[Please excuse my terrible English, it is not my first language.]
I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED KEYWORDS IN THE REQUEST TICKET
You acknowledge the problem and are working on it, seems sincere to me.
Best of luck.
Thank you very much. Just curious: would you happen to be someone who managed to overturn a ban after breaking TOS?
Nope, I haven’t used reddit for more than 6 years now. And I was never banned, and I used reddit from when it was very new.
I have been banned on lemmy once, but only for 2 days.
I was just giving my opinion, because you got a very harsh respond IMO.
Thank you for sympathizing🙏
