r/ShadowBan • u/OhNoIBoffedIt CQS: Low • 23h ago
To determine a shadowban, you MUST click my profile! Restrictions lifted!
I appealed to Reddit yesterday and today I got this message:
Hello,
Thanks for writing in to the Reddit admin team and bringing this to our attention. It appears your account got caught by Reddit's spam filter. We have reviewed your account and lifted the restriction(s) on it.

Congratulations! 🎊🎉
Just be aware that your CQS is now low, which will greatly limit your ability to contribute in many subreddits. A low / lowest CQS is very common after a shadow ban. The pinned AutoMod comment above has more info on CQS and simple ways you may be able to improve it.
But you will want to go very, VERY slowly. Do not post anything or initiate chat messages for the first few days.
Only vote on content and only leave a few comments per day in subreddits that you have an interest in or are new user friendly until your CQS is “moderate” or higher. r/NewToReddit has a whole list of friendly subreddits as well as a lot of useful information about Reddit and how to navigate it as a low CQS user.
You can check in on your CQS over on r/WhatIsMyCQS. If the post is removed by Reddit filters (due to your low CQS) do NOT delete it and repost as that can trip the spam filter. Just send a polite mod mail to the subreddit and ask if they can review and approve your post.
Congrats again!

Oof. Noted. It is indeed low. That's really unfair 😩

Don’t worry. It should bounce back for you fairly quickly. You have an established account with a good amount of karma. Just take it slow and you should be fine :)

Why did you get shadowbanned? And what did you say?

u/OhNoIBoffedIt CQS: Low 22h ago
I can't honestly say for sure. Best guess was a joke post I created on the No Man's Sky subreddit that the mods deleted (it was a picture of a California plain and I commented how realistic NMS's graphics are getting).

Is there a link to check? I saw it somewhere but can't find it now.

You can follow the instructions in the automod comment on this post, but I checked your profile, you're still banned.
