View submission: Site Wide Shadow Banned Users

I used to get similar responses but I rewrote my reply (to the non-spammers) several times and I also lock it and I've noticed several of them get their account fixed without me having to explain things further.

Hi, I've noticed that your account is shadowbanned

This means that your posts/comments get auto-removed by Reddit and need to be manually approved by a mod. Notes:


	
This wasn't done by us but by Reddit itself

	
Users don't get notified about your replies to them even if a mod approves them

	
[You can appeal your shadowban here](https://www.reddit.com/appeals) (if you're not shadowbanned it should say that "Your account is currently neither suspended nor restricted")

	
The shadowbanning system is known to have false-positives, but the general reasons for getting shadowbanned are listed in [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowBan/comments/8a2gpk/an_unofficial_guide_on_how_to_avoid_being/)

Can you put it in code blocks so it is easy to copy.

I have come across shadow banned users who came to reddit to spam, but then decided to hang around and do legitimate posts.

I should probably do like you have and make a prefabbed response for the non-spammers.

I could put it in my wiki, and cut-and-paste from there as needed.

I love this. Could you, or can I, add this here[1] please?
