❓Problem❓ I was permabanned from a subreddit, then got the ban overturned this year. But I still have the banned message in the sub.

Hi!

I once got permabanned from a specific game subreddit a few years back. I messaged the mods this year and got the ban overturned. They even sent me a screenshot to confirm it.

But for some reason, when I go visit the sub, I still get the message that I am banned whenever I open a post and scroll down to the comments.

What's causing the issue? I've cleared my browser cache, logged in using different browsers, logged out and back in to my account again, but the problem never goes away.

Hello u/TheNZThrower, it appears your post may be about being banned from another subreddit.

  • In order to appeal your ban, you should first message the moderators of that community.
  • If you have messaged them, and they have denied your appeal or muted you, then unfortunately there is nothing else you can do.
  • Moderators can operate their communities as they see fit.

Here are some options on how to move on from the situation:


If you were shadowbanned or banned from the entire Reddit site by admins, the only thing you can do is submit their appeal form: https://www.reddit.com/appeals

  • Please note that you must be logged into that url with your banned account to see the appeal option.
  • Mods are not part of this process, so we do not have any visibility into why you were banned by Reddit.

Maybe ask them to ban you again and then unban you

How would that work?

It may reset whatever is sticking

Just asked them to do so. Somehow they can't even re-ban me to unban me either.

You are going to need to make a post on r/bugs to try to get reddits help. You may also want to make a comment on the pinned weekly recap post on r/help to see if the admin there has any ideas.

I get a generic error on regular reddit, and an error 500 on old.reddit

u/TheNZThrower include this on your bugs

You should probably start by double checking with the mods of the sub. If that doesn’t work, the mods can request assistance from the site Admins.
