So, I have a main account, where I'm the asshole editor with lots of opinions, and then two others for things a bit more spicy.

Both of those have been suspended for "suspicious activity" roughly 30 hours apart. For, you know, posting what I usually do.

The thing is, one of these -- I'm in the eight-year club there -- is associated with an email address that was terminated for lack of use, so I can't reset my password as prescribed.

The other was suspended yesterday every single time I posted anything, resulting in multiple password resets. I've not posted anything there today, but ... hey, look, it's suspended again.

Is Reddit just making a hard turn toward banning adult content? r/help seems to have a few other people in my boat wondering what the fuck is going on, but I can't find any sources suggesting a shift in policy. And I can't post in r/help on my main ... the submit button does nothing.

I asked for a recommendation for raw denim repair in my city subreddit. Removed and suspended. 15 year old account.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe "raw" is now a flagged word? Seriously, the fact that all manner of people are suddenly getting cut off is supremely suspicious.

Lmao, if ‘raw’ is a naughty ban worth word at Reddit…. Why even use that garbage.

In my country, we call jeans "rifle" (pronounced /rɪ'flɛ/). No, really. People get suspended from Facebook Marketplace all the time.

Ah, the classic Chevy Nova problem with translation.

Whatwas the problem with translating Chevy Nova?
