I am a reddit power user from way back in the day (2006), with multiple accounts.

Today I tried to make a few light banter comments and all of them got blocked by auto-moderators with insane rules.

What is going on at reddit?

Speaking as a former Amazonian who ran oncall for LSEs and high-impact events on my teams systems responsible for $130B/year GMS.

Reddit is somehow broken. I moderate the Oberon subreddit and don't manage to permanently remove protected status. When I go away and come back a few days later it is again protected and people have to contact and ask me when they want to post. I already went to Reddit administration with this issue but never got a response.
