Reddit automated punishment?

Contributing member of the Reddit community here.

I have received "Your account has been given a warning" for "threatened violence and physical harm".

This is absolute nonsense and I am waiting to hear back on an "apeal".

But the part that is troublesome is that the punishment was automated:

At the bottom of the message:

“Note: This content was flagged by Reddit's automated systems. This decision was made using automation.”

So I am being punished with a warning by an automated system??

How does this make any sense?

It appears that you make a post there and receive your rating. This is new to me too so just a guess.
