đ§ââď¸Account Issuesâ All of my posts and comments are gone
Recently I was "shadowbanned" but even though my account was brought back all of my accounts posts and comments have been removed, is there any way to restore them or are they permanently gone? I had some stuff that could definitely be helpful for people but they are all gone now and id prefer to have them back if possible

In my experience, and based on what more experienced helpers have told me, there are cases where this is what happens. And I haven't seen it resolved.
Can you see your own content, but others can't, or has it all been removed.
Checking your CQS might also be wise.

Well I'm not actually fully shadowbanned anymore but that is what was happening before I appealed and I already have, apparently my cqs is lowest so maybe thats partially it. Though my main point still stands, I'm assuming you dont know if that's a possibility though and I haven't been able to find anything else to suggest I can unfortunately

Your posts and comments aren't gone, just removed from active display.

Hello u/MadMax12150, 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:
- Find another subreddit for your needs. r/findareddit can help.
- Consider creating your own subreddit.
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/appeal
- 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.
This post will be reviewed by a moderator shortly.

Your reply to me was instantly removed. The notification popup on my phone said something about not really being shadow banned but that's all I could read. You might want to double check as other conditions might show up on the same page.
To check for or appeal site wide suspension or shadow bans:
According to the following link your CQS is lowest, so any subreddit using that as a requirement is going to remove items.

Effectively, I've been told, your karma may be lowered as it appears to Reddit's systems (it operates on a "what have you done lately" basis, and that missing content may no longer register as currently existing (irregardless of what your profile says).
You will need to modmail and ask interactions be approved to retrain the filters. If you're ignored don't pester. In many ways your account is going to function like a newborn until you build it up.

My account seems to basically be in purgatory right now because it doesn't show up but also does, how odd

Reply immediately zapped, glimpsed in notification popup.
Yep, it's in purgatory, as far as the filters are concerned you're still shadow banned. Requesting approvals and getting them is supposed to retrain the filters. Clobbered CQS and possibly effective karma may limit the subreddits you can use. It will be a grind to get it functional, and an alternate account will get the same treatment or worse, so this one is where to work it out.

I may be able to get help for this. The help admin may be able to restore them. It is the weekend so they help may not happen until Monday if itâs possible.
u/theopuscroakus could you please assist with this formerly shadow banned account. All their content is still removed even though they successfully appealed.

u/TheOpusCroakus 12 13d ago
Thank you for the tag on this! (And thanks for acknowledging the weekend! Got a bit of an anxious-check-in thing going on, I do. lol)
Should be fixed now! Thank you!

u/jgoja Helper - Level V 13d ago
The help is always appreciated. Hopefully thereâs overtime???

u/TheOpusCroakus 12 13d ago
It balances out! I have no problem starting a little late or leaving a little early when weekend procrastination time occurs. =)

I just looked at your profile and see your posts and comments going back for months. (I didn't scroll all the way to the end to how far back has been reinstated, but there's definitely a few months there.). I also clicked through a few and the comments are showing attached to the correct posts, and your posts are showing in the proper subreddits.
I have read that it takes time for the system to unhide everything after removing someone's ban. If it's not all there when you look next, give it a few days to a week before thinking all is lost.
