How long does a shadowban on Reddit last? (kbin.social)

I think it started last week when my posts were not getting any upvotes at all. Then I posted a reddit link into incognito window and yep, my post appears as deleted. Probably because I was promoting kbin.social in some of the subreddits. F**kers. I accumulated 150K comment karma over the last 15 years.

Edit: looks like my account was deleted too. I can still log on with the same name but in an incognito mode, I don't exist on reddit.

Time to move to greener pastures

Shadowbans are permanent. And that’s how a shadowban works, you don’t know you’re banned and can log in but you don’t exist to everyone else.

Forever, unless you can get an admin to reverse it.

If you're shadow banned site wide you will see what you're seeing now - the account just looks like it doesn't exist when you try to go to your profiles page while not signed in.

Your only hope is to message a reddit admin. Since you've been promoting kbin, good luck with that.

No warning - just burn 15 years of membership? Screw them.

Yep. I was accidentally site wide shadow banned by an admin bot once a few years, just had my comments suddenly stop getting responded to or up/down voted. Contacted an admin and thankfully they responded in a few hours and said my account got caught by a bot for some reason and un-shadow-banned me. Think my account was around 10 years old at that stage with 100k+ karma.
