Maybes I missed the rule that says "Redditors that try to be helpful will be banned".
Yeah, Reddit mods suck

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
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.
Why waste your time there?
"We dont go to Redditholm anymore..."
Forget about it Jake, it's reddit-town.
Good time to promote !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I cross-posted this to there. Hope that's OK.
Edit: I misread the posted image, OP is suggesting rules to filter new accounts, not with a new account themselves.
~~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.~~
OP didn't get banned for having a new account
Edit: I misread the posted image, OP is suggesting rules to filter new accounts, not with a new account themselves.
~~Nothing said why he got banned, but he got banned with a brand new account. The new account isn't the ban reason itself, but it's the reason the mods would be on a hair trigger for just the whiff of a problem.~~
My account is 15 years old.
Ah, I misread the quoted image. I will edit my earlier replies to let people know my assumption was incorrect.
If it makes you feel any better, that's how I read the post too until you were corrected. I also missed the beginning sentence. Oops.
No worries.
Alright feels like we got another wave coming?
Is reddit cracking down again?
Just mods on a sub being stupid.
What is that subreddit for exactly?
A place to pick up jobs for cheap. I'm a programmer so little fixes here and there for beer money. Sometimes leads to bigger things. I've even worked for one of the mods there too, funnily enough. There's been a huge wave of utter gak recently so I thought I'd suggest a fix. Got banned... F**k em!
Their loss! Start a Lemmy community, or “Moonie”, as I like to call it ever since I randomly made that term up yesterday
Feel free to promote it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world
Oh nice. I sure will. Thanks.
How new do they have to be?
Their loss, our gain.
Welcome to The Good Place, you won't look back.
But is it really the Good Place?
Well there's the dilemma. We all thought Reddit was The Good Place until we realised it was actually The Bad Place. With Lemmy it may depend on your instance.
It's so hard to read the posts here? I'm thinking about going back to Reddit right now. What's with this dark and complicated theme?
use a third party client!
That's because reddit is a scammer, by the way. That's why get banned. 🤣
