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?

Reddit administration is easily the worst I have ever had the mispleasure of dealing with. I have never seen such a lackluster team in my life. Not trying to be rude to them, it's just a statement based in the fact that I've dealt with countless admin teams and they are all superior to Reddit.
