Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

    Got banned from some subs once because the editing software I was using to sanitize and delete my account hadn’t yet removed an edited comment.

    Mod quoted it. Sent it to me and said this makes no sense. Banned.

    The comment being edited was 4 years old.

      Mod probably has automod set up to notify them of comment edits in old threads.

        Automod detects if you edit a comment to have any banned (as per subreddit rules) word regardless and flags it to modqueue

      Same thing happened to be. I got banned from over 30 subreddits for using that comment delete app.
