My chat whitelist was replaced by people on my block list

It can sometimes be helpful for moderation purposes if certain trusted users and comods can contact me when I have temporarily disabled my chat.

Imagine my surprise then when I looked in my privacy settings and saw that my existing whitelist had been replaced with the first 25 users on my block list. My comods are reporting the same.

I don't really know by heart who was on my whitelist, but they're gone now.

Ehm. This isn't a fun bug.

Reddit's spam filters (potentially) have a bug/ are going wrong.

Hi, I'm posting this as a mod of r/comics, looking for some assistance for two of our most popular posters.

/u/kaybeearts

/u/crazygnomenclature

They have gotten shadowbanned directly after posting. It is possible more users are affected. If this was only one person I'd tell them to appeal and contact modsupport via modmail if nothing came of that, but that it is two shortly after each other could mean something is going wrong with reddit's shadowban system. Both have appealed via reddit.com/appeal

Please undo their shadowbans ASAP, restore their content and have someone look into the shadowban system.

Thank you

Edit: /u/Kaybeearts appears to have their account back now, but everything is still filtered. I can fix that for /r/comics with some effort, but may I request an unban-all please?

Edit: attempting to restore /u/Kaybeeart's content gave me this: https://imgur.com/a/1Oi60en

Which is weird, yo. I got rate limited because I made like 300 mod actions? I think something is wrong with reddit.
