A couple months ago I banned a group of problematic users from one of my subreddits. Today, I just happened to be reviewing the banned user list and noticed that all but one of them were no longer listed. I tried banning one of the ones who was no longer listed and did not receive an error, but their name did not appear on the banned user list and the ban action did not appear on the mod log. There are no unban actions on the mod log and the users still have active accounts. I am trying to figure out what is going on here.
I know for a fact that at least one of the users had filed a retaliatory report against one of my alternative accounts. Is it possible that I have been blocked by Reddit from banning them because of this?

Q: blocked by Reddit? (User filed retaliation report against OP.)
Might be blocked by reddit. Not sure.
If it were me, I would first wait 4 hours on the chance it’s just a glitch. Then, try again on a different device using copy/paste rather than typing in the username. If problem persists, I would either send a modmail to r/ModSupport or post on r/Bugs.
