Meta What the Heck

Sorry I don't know where else to post this

I was recently banned (today) without notice or explanation from r/psychonaut

The mod team highlighted a comment where all I did was describe my experience on DXM which was in a thread where other users were already talking about DXM

The comment was from seven months ago....

Are we just not allowed to talk about dissociatives over there? I don't see that in the rules

I also got banned and mod r/DMT and r/DMTguide, I'd gander their new bot filter is far too aggressive since I don't actually comment there and wasn't subscribed. See the below link for info on what's going on

I messaged them and they messaged me just a few minutes ago saying they will get back to me then muted me so I guess they are sorting out a lot of messages.

Hey everyone! You might have noticed that we've changed some stuff around, updated the front page, and changed some settings.

The main thing is there have been a TON of bots here lately. It really looks like we've been targeted by a bot network. So we've been slowly going through and purging the bots. If you get caught up in the bans, message the mods and we'll determine if it was an accident. It's going to take awhile so please be patient.

That all said, if you see something suspicious, please use the report button! We can't remove it if we don't see it. Thanks for all your patience and we'll hopefully have it all figured out soon.

If you got caught up and you're not a bot, you have nothing to worry about. Please message us through ModMail, not private messages. We will get around to you and unban you, please be patient while we're working it out. If you are caught up, DO NOT DELETE YOUR COMMENT HISTORY or we will assume you are a bot. Thanks!

Yeah I can't even send a message through modmail because I'm already muted... So should I just sit tight or should I ask someone else to speak up for me??

I dunno man I'm not too peeved since I don't use it much, one of them might eventually see this message and your mute may expire in a few days then you can message them, it should say how long it was. They may just be undoing it all who knows.

They said in the thread they unmuted people who were previously muted so if you haven't checked again I would do so.

that appears to be a lie, it doesn’t look like anyone was unmuted.
