View submission: think i might be shadowbanned.
I thought that too, but it was pretty much all of my comments on various subreddits that were highlighted pink. I think that's too big of a coincidence. Plus I had this bot confirm it twice that I wasn't shadowbanned (through this post, and another I made shortly after). I made a second post after I posted a comment and it was highlighted pink again, all of my other comments went back to normal. I also had another bot confirm it, so that's 3 times that I had to confirm that I wasn't shadowbanned.
Can you DM me back when you get this? I just want to confirm that I'm not truly shadowbanned and I can still send/receive messages.

You're not shadowbanned.
You can prove that to yourself by clicking your own username to go to your overview then logging out. You can also use private/incognito mode. You should still see your overview. If you were shadowbanned, it would go to Reddit's 404 page.
If you're asking because something you posted isn't showing up in /r/<subreddit>/new, (or in your overview when you log out) you may want to recheck the rules of the subreddit you're submitting to and make sure you did not break any, including formatting and flair rules. If you are sure you did not break any rules or guidelines you can send a polite modmail (do *not* directly message a mod) asking them to approve your content. Mods are not required to approve comments and posts that are removed.
Do not delete & resubmit them as this will train the spam filter to continue doing this. You may have to repeat the procedure until the spam filter learns that your posts are okay.
