Reddit's been moving to worse automated moderation and stricter regulations ever since they announced they'd be scraping the website's content for AI integration. I left that day, and I recommend you do the same.
90 percent of the human mods don't take the job seriously either. There is no recourse if a mod wants to ban you they will make up an issue and make it happen.
The mod-bots that cut your post for not having enough words under the pretense that more words makes better content and engagement....
If you can frame and ask a question in under 25 words, that's good communication skills. I shouldn't need to copy/paste Lorum Ipsum on the end to bypass the mod-bot's pedantry.
I haven't bothered with reddit in a long time. The place is really swirling the drain now that the IPO is done. The website is increasingly run by rightwingers and spez is in full cash-grab mode. Bots are running wild everywhere. The API is garbage. The third party UIs are all broken because the API is garbage. They're about to start putting subreddits behind paywalls and plastering the site with ads. What a dumpster fire.
It's not like the rules are secret. Unlike bots, people are theoretically capable of learning and changing their behavior. Or they can go to Imgur and piss and moan about Reddit having rules.
Looks like you completely missed the point of automated moderation, and that you're choosing to piss and moan instead of learning. There are spambots smarter than you at this point.

I kind of get it. It is a *lot* of work to moderate, and you need moderation for healthy, not toxic, community.
I also get not wanting to ever post there because the rules end up being so arbitrary it's impossible to satisfy them.

No idea, I made an account, never posted on it, got banned, said "fuck it".

that's what made me stop posting in a lot of Magic the Gathering subreddits.

Automated moderation is the dumbest thing ever.

I swear I'd get more responses mailing Santa than most community moderators.

Automated moderation is the only defense against automated posting.

And an amazing defense against real posters.

Looks like you completely missed the point of automated moderation being completely unreliable for real users.
