I know this is not an official reddit community, I just need an opinion and advice from someone who managed to get unbanned after violating TOS, or an admin who might be active here. Also, everything written here is true. My account had 55K+ karma and was 4 years old. Not planning to circumvent the ban in any way, so this is my last resort. I have many genuine friends on reddit

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.]

    Lots of people got permabanned lately (including me) and to my knowledge appeals rarely if ever work. They’re transitioning the platform to read-only it seems.

      I got permabanned just a few days ago for saying, and I quote “I hope people who indulge in needless roadrage feel the karma one day”, appealed it and overturned the ban. But just yesterday got permabanned again for responding to people giving grape threats, seems like they just wanna kill off the platform now. I used to love reddit but recently not so much anymore :(

      I had a lot of friends who were on reddit-only man, genuine friends and 55k+ karma so lots of posts and shared experiences about my hobbies and everything, they don’t even give second chances :/

      If this is your first permaban, an appeal MIGHT work, no harm in trying, hope you get your account back if it works out :)

    There’s a lot of speculation here that the moderation and appeals on Reddit have been transitioned into being primarily AI-driven. Basically, I have no idea what to expect as a response and I don’t think anyone could say either.

    I used to be fairly active on Reddit, now I just lurk once a week or two. Not only because of philosophical differences, but because Reddit moderation has become such a black box that I genuinely don’t know what could be perceived as breaking the rules

      Fr man, since april I’ve received 4 bans, 3 of which were completely taken out-of-context and did not even break any TOS, I could only overturn 1 of those though. The 4th one did kinda break TOS (just cussing, no threats from my side), but I haven’t even received a response yet and the ban message said that the action was taken with the help of automation. Basically, you seem to be spot-on. Reddit has messed up royally in the past few weeks, hope to see lemmy grow bigger :3

      Seems like so, but unfortunately I still liked it there, I had friends that I used to talk to regularly, and the teen subs were kinda silly but fun to interact with fellow teenagers from all across the world :(
