    From what the mods told me is that I inquired about selling my reddit account so they mark it as a scammer so whoever buys the account won’t be able to do much with it

      Oh, so they have an algo checking for keywords in messages and just auto-flagging? Clever… That does make doing business a bit of a pain.

        Well. I had no clue that it was frowned upon to be honest. But someone said something about selling accounts I was like “damn I’m at 8 years and almost a million karma”. I found a website of account sellers and my account could have gone for 400-500 dollars at that time.

        But! I found out since my ban that a lot of Chinese bot accounts and scam accounts will pay for these high karma reddit accounts so they can bypass a lot of subreddit checks and they can just bot post for a super long time.

        Oh well. In the end I got perma banned because I said I wish the shooter was real and shit 2 inches to the right 🤷
