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?

Would it not be better for YOU... as an individual... to 'BLOCK' what you deem to be horrible content on your page... why allow a moderator... human or robot... to decide what is good for you to see... and what is bad for you to see...

Should this not be left to the individual...
