Got banned for trying to help stop spam and scammers.

Maybes I missed the rule that says "Redditors that try to be helpful will be banned".

Spam and scammers are their bread and butter now.

They’re doing you a favor. Get banned from the entire site and enjoy the freedom.

Alright feels like we got another wave coming?

Is reddit cracking down again?

A brand new account getting banned tells us almost nothing about whether the ban was warranted. Brand new accounts talking about automod are either evading a ban or have history on their main account they don't want the mods to see. These might be horrible power-abusing mods, but even if there wasn't a larger history not seen here, banning a brand new account just because the vibes seem off is a-ok in my book.
