Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in /r/r4r because your post violates this community's rules. You won't be able to post or comment, but you can still view and subscribe to it.
Note from the moderators:
You have been banned from this community because your account appears to be engaged in spamming or other bot-like behavior.
If you believe this to be incorrect, don't panic! You may appeal this ban by replying to this message; if you know or suspect why you were banned, including an explanation will help speed along the process. Ban appeals are usually processed within several hours, but may take up to 48 hours. If this is your first time being banned, and you are not a bot account, the ban will generally be lifted with a warning if you agree not to spam in the future.
Important: If you have received multiple bans for the same reason, please appeal only one of them; any related bans will be lifted at the same time.
If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team by replying to this message.
Reminder from the Reddit Admin team: If you use another account to circumvent this community ban, that will be considered a violation of the Reddit Rules and may result in your account being banned from the platform as a whole.

I have absolutely no idea why my post would have been banned. It is completely inoffensive and a genuine attempt to find another person. I have been posting occasionally for years with no problems. I would like to officially appeal this ban.

Rule 3, no exchanges for money or goods.

Are we talking about my post? Because there WAS nothing like that in it. I just said that I'd report and block anyone who asked for money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. I got several such requests last time. That's the OPPOSITE of violating Rule 3!

I didn't solicit anything! Have you actually read the post? Are you a real human being or a bot?

You are a bot, aren't you.

Here's the paragraph which was somehow interpreted as soliciting:
"This is addressed to the many scammers and pig butchers on Reddit: I will not send anyone money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. I will not invest in your investment schemes. I won't install your scam software. If you ask me for any of these things I will report you and block you immediately."
So I have to crawl back to them on my knees next week, confess my transgression (which I DIDN'T do), and promise never to do it again.
I think I have too much pride for that.
