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?

Be lucky you weren’t me. My other account got banned for three days for making a post defending the death penalty, flagged for inciting violence. Thank god there was an appeal. But yeah it’s crazy.
