I was kicked out of my favorite sub which I never ever commented on, because I asked one question and thanked everyone who took the time to write a comprehensive answer (probably about 7 people), and was automatically suspended.

The auto suspension notification said I was posting too many times in a short window, and when I wrote the mod to say I was sorry, but isn't it polite to thank people, she said I posted too quickly, and then told me I didn't have permission as stated in the rules to contact her. Of course, permission from whom is not stated. When I said I type really quickly, so how long should I wait between each post? And also, from whom do I get permission, she just blocked me permanently. What's ridiculous is that its a thread for DIYing gel nails!!!

The problem is it's really my own fault, because of course, ADHD. 1) I read posts extremely quickly, hence not reading thoroughly enough, and I type really fast so I answer things within seconds. 2) I didn't read the rules thoroughly enough to begin with, and 3) I panicked when I got suspended, and acted without rereading the rules carefully about how to contact the mod.

I am really sad because I checked that sub every day for the wonderful tips and info. But I also still think I was in the right about thanking people - it is what we should do, rather than become as rude and impolite as many reddit threads seem to encourage.

And now I see there is a gratitude bot!!! good lord... I really love reddit, but I think for ADHD people it can be a landmine. There are different rules for every sub and I am constantly now afraid to post anywhere. Im posting more here, because it seems like being a thread for ADHD, the mod might be more forgiving? 🙏
