You're posting this from a new account which has no banned comments, so I'm guessing you're referring to another account which you're not mentioning, for whatever reason.

If your other account is banned, it's likely a moderator told you the reason why.

You are right, this is a new account. I am not mentioning the account in question because, honestly, I am afraid of proving myself right, that I am dumb.

Back to the original question. I will check my old comments that were visible, if there is some mention about the ban. I think I’d remember if there was, but I’ll double check.

Thanks for the help.

I just checked my comments. In fact none of them have any replies. I suspect none of them are visible. The account is one year old.

I have two submissions. One has no comments, and the other has one comment (a regular reply to the submission).

I will write to the mods as you suggested. The account is irrelevant, I can use this one from now on. I just wouldn’t want to repeat whatever I did to get the account banned.

Thanks again!
