I've received this message on my inbox just a few hours after deleting my posts (all of them) last night.
I'm just glad to know where they stand.
And yes, I know that a lot of people have unsavory views about that subreddit, but I guess there's just no accounting for taste.
Getting "caught" as a bot is pretty likely. The first time I mass-edited my posts I got spam asking me to "not spam the subreddit" for every edit in AskReddit. When I re-ran it a few days later they must have fine-tuned that because I didn't get any more from them. But it seems likely that another sub could have had an auto-ban tied to similar bot detection.
It's more likely they muted you. Afaik editing has sort of a timeout for API calls so if you do it too quickly, so your tool needs to delay each edit for a few seconds or it would cause issues. I know Power Delete Suite has not added this feature yet unfortunately.
This version of power delete suite added the feature. Each edit happens after 5.1s, the exact time to ensure no API timeout.
