Answer each question after running the test. Use a logged-out private window, or a friend who doesn't follow you, for the "outside view" tests. We never ask for your password, and your answers stay on your device.

1. 1

   Does your profile show as "page not found" or suspended when you're logged out?

   Official notice

   In a private window, open reddit.com/user/yourusername. If you can see your profile while logged in but get "page not found" or a suspension notice when logged out, your account has a site-wide shadowban.

   Yes No Not sure
2. 2

   Have you received a message from Reddit admins or subreddit mods about a ban or removal?

   Official notice

   Check your Reddit inbox, including Messages and Mod Mail, for notices about bans, suspensions or removed posts.

   Yes No Not sure
3. 3

   Are your posts missing from a subreddit's New page for people who are logged out?

   Visibility test

   Right after posting, open reddit.com/r/subname/new in a private window. If your post isn't there, that subreddit's spam filter or AutoModerator probably removed it. That's a restriction in that subreddit, not on your whole account.

   Yes No Not sure
4. 4

   Are your comments showing as removed to others?

   Visibility test

   Open one of your comment threads in a private window. If your comment shows as [removed] or doesn't appear, it was filtered.
