What in the world?

This morning, the mods in my sub received a barage of hateful messages from a person who simply had a comment removed by out automoderator for not meeting karma requirements. Those messages included anti LGBTQ+ language, and clear threats of violence against us and LGBTQ+ people.

We reported those messages for harassment and threatening violence. I just received a message that the comments violated Reddit's content policy (duh). But the user was not banned or suspended. How in the world is that possible when other users get permanently banned for mundane things like reporting legitimately rule breaking content under the nebulous rule 8?

These accounts may very well may have been suspended-temporarily. The only suspension that mods are made aware of is a permanent suspension which is given after a number of strikes and temporary suspensions of increasing length.
