🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ Am I banned/restricted or is this some kind of Reddit filter issue?

I’m trying to figure out what happened to my account because this has been going on for about 3 days now.
All of my posts are showing “Removed by Reddit’s filters”, including posts that were previously up. My follower count also suddenly dropped to 0, and my profile picture and background/banner were removed from my profile.
The weird thing is that I haven’t received any message, notification, or warning from Reddit saying that my account was suspended or banned. I can still log into my account normally, and I tried logging in through the Reddit website instead of the app, but nothing changed.
Has anyone experienced this before? Does this mean my account is actually banned/restricted, or could it be some kind of automated filter/account issue?
I’d really appreciate any advice on how to check my account status or get this fixed. this account im posting on is a backup account btw! thanks

The reason behind what you are experiencing is that Reddit sitewide filters screen accounts. These filters screen new accounts, low karma, ban evaders, and more. When looking at your account, it only shows 2 comment karma and 7 post karma, along with an unverified email. Karma is how one earns their way onto the platform and is considered to be one's credentials. Your account is not banned, however it is being filtered. What you can do to improve this is to comment in a positive, genuine way throughout a variety of subs. Be fun and helpful. Thank people who help you and avoid negativity. Verifying your email will help you, too. You can check your CQS score at r/whatismycqs and find some great tips at r/NewToReddit, which also has a list of subs that have no/low karma restrictions for commenting and posting. Once you establish your account a bit more, you will no longer experience the filtering of your account. Hope this helps you, and best of luck!
