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.

It's "activity related" -- basically, they're claiming my account was hacked, so I need to reset my password. Simple enough with access to the email associated with the account, which I don't have. They're not claiming any sort of TOS violation, just suspicious activity.

There must be something going on; since your original post, I've had a number of password reset attempts and I've been told by other people they've had the same but we all have 2FA.
