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.
