Has anyone else had a similar experience with r/ADHD moderation?
I completely understand that r/ADHD doesn't allow recruitment or self-promotion. That wasn't actually the point of my message.
Before posting anything, I contacted the moderators to ask whether such a post would be allowed. I explicitly said that if it wasn't, I would respect the rules. I also asked whether they might know of another subreddit or platform where people might be looking for ADHD coaches or interested in free coaching sessions.
I wasn't asking them to make an exception. I wasn't trying to get around the rules. I was simply asking for guidance before doing anything.
Instead, I received:

I honestly found that disappointing. A simple "No, we don't allow that" would have been completely fair. I was trying to respect the rules by asking first, yet I was met with hostility and ultimately permanently banned.
Has anyone else had similar experiences with r/ADHD moderation? Were you also permanently banned over something that felt disproportionate, or was this just an isolated experience?
