Reddit is just kinda throwing ban hammers wildly around at new subs right now. Probably along the lines of "if you ever used posted on a banned subreddit this is a ban evasion sub". There's a bunch posting to /r/modhelp and getting removed.

An example of this:

"I made a subreddit dedicated to brainstorming new weapon concepts for the game Destiny 2. It was 10 members, but only myself and another person actually posted and shared ideas. As these were merely ideas and OC, no copyright issues were present. Well, I tried to post a new idea and it turns out my subreddit got banned 1 day ago for "creating or repurposing a sub to reconstitute or serve the same objective as a previously banned or quarantined subreddit." I have never known of another subreddit dedicated to what I was trying to accomplish with my own subreddit, let alone have I ever been affiliated with one. What I want to know is why I was never warned or notified about my subreddit ban, and why it was banned when it posed no threat. Most of all, I want to know if there is a way to appeal the ban. My subreddit in question is r/KulaxisFoundry"
