I’m honestly confused about what Reddit is doing with their AI filters now. I tried posting in r/help a while back because I needed actual help, and the post got removed instantly. The mod message said something about “AI‑generated content,” even though I wrote it myself.
So I rewrote it in my own words, shorter, more casual. Removed again.
Tried one more time. That time I got banned and muted from the subreddit. No human review, no appeal, nothing. Just “you’re banned.”
The rules didn’t say anything about AI. I wasn’t breaking any rule. I wasn’t spamming. I wasn’t being rude. I literally just wanted help. And now I’m permanently banned from the one place that’s supposed to help people.
Has anyone else had Reddit’s AI moderation just nuke everything you write, even when it’s your own words? Is this normal now?
I get what you’re saying, but in my case the removals weren’t the normal ‘pending review’ type. The posts were removed instantly across multiple subs, my modmail was auto‑muted, and the ban reason specifically referenced AI‑generated content. That combination only happens when Reddit’s automated system flags an account. So the mods did ban me, but they were reacting to Reddit’s AI label, not the actual content.
