I know this is not an official reddit community, I just need an opinion and advice from someone who managed to get unbanned after violating TOS, or an admin who might be active here. Also, everything written here is true. My account had 55K+ karma and was 4 years old. Not planning to circumvent the ban in any way, so this is my last resort. I have many genuine friends on reddit
Dear Reddit Moderators/Admins,
I’m writing to sincerely apologize for my irrational behavior that led to my ban. I fully acknowledge that my use of abusive and hateful language was unacceptable, against Reddit’s rules, and harmful to the community. I deeply regret my actions and the negative impact they may have had on others.
I would like to express my regrets over my burst of emotions, sending abusive dms to multiple people who were abusing our country and some who posted comments threatening to grape and harm my family but removed them before I could report. Due to having lost two loved ones in the war in Jammu a few days ago, I was in a very toxic mental space and abused several people from the other country. I would like to express my sincerest apologies and regrets over such stupid and unacceptable behaviour.
Since then, I have seeked help for my mental health and stability (contacted a working professional, starting therapy today) and am willing to work towards making reddit safer and eliminate negativity spread by me by blocking every political/war-affected region's subreddit from my reddit feed, restricting my interactions on reddit to only the teenager subs and fandoms as well as sports and cats, that's it.
This incident taught me a lesson about violent mental outbursts and I feel extremely sorry for the rage I spewed, no matter the context saying those things is wrong. I am sincerely requesting an unban and am willing to co-operate with the mods by requesting a shadow-ban of atleast 1 month on my account, but requesting it's restoration as well.
I have been a part of reddit for over 3 years now and I now understand the gravity of the hateful words I said. I'm hopeful that therapy will lead me towards being a better person, both online and offline.
I can assure you with utmost respect and sincerity that I shall never repeat and incident such as this ever again and will only work towards spreading positivity and light-hearted, SFW humour.
Expressing my sincerest apologies and requesting a final unban as well as a shadow-ban for a few weeks. Please consider this request, I shall forever regret my actions. Due to the war-torn situation, my only friends are on reddit at this moment. Reddit used to be my escape from the scary reality and break from my studies and issues after getting diagnosed with sleep apnea and anxiety syndrome. Please, I am requesting this unban with my sincerest regrets.🙏 Expecting a response and again expressing my deepest regrets. I am willing to do anything asked of me to get my account restored.
[Please excuse my terrible English, it is not my first language.]
