reddit says he wasn't banned but temporarily restricted during a password reset requirement, which showed him as banned due to a reddit bug
that bug has been ongoing since last year, it resulted in a ton of bans. one of my last accounts during the purge has the "password request" the first time he freed up my account from "ban" and then a 2nd time it shadowbanned me.
