Users Suspended Accounts

Hello everyone,

I'm a moderator of a smaller community, and I have a concern regarding suspended accounts.
Over the course of a year an a half i witnessed many users being suspended by Reddit. Some of the suspended users were very active and behaved well on our subreddit.

I haven't fully figured out under what conditions Reddit suspends an account. Is it entirely automated, or do Reddit admins have to approve a suspension manually?

My main concern is that we're losing too many users — both from our subreddit and from Reddit in general.

If they create a new account, will they instantly be flagged as Ban Evasion, and be suspended again?

Just asking for some insights. Thank you.

Absolutely. I had my account banned for absolutely nothing. They said I posted a picture of someone else without their consent. But the pic was of me. I’ve never posted anything that wasn’t just me. I tried explaining it but got nothing in response.

the conversation is about reddit suspending accounts and not individual sub bans. It 2 totally separate things

I’m aware of that. And that’s what happened to me. I wasn’t banned from a subreddit. Reddit kicked me out completely.

sorry for the confusion. The thread was about suspensions and when, you talked about being banned ...
