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?

Fighting an automated system is like screaming at the anchor on television or the talk show host on the radio... no one will ever hear you...
We were all 'warned' about this in the book 1984... (if you have not read the book it is a must read... especially for younger people)... it's kind of slow and boring... but it's kind of difficult to make despotism exciting...
Good Luck... Be Safe...
