<human>: I am heartsick. I knew somethinwas wrong STRAIGHT away. No comment points and no post upvotes in 12 hours? Nah. That doesn't happen. I have made 7 posts just in the last 24 hours. To popular subs too (/r/pics, /r/ladyboners). And countless comments. I HAVE ALMOST CERTAINLY BEEN SHADOW-BANNED. I have this new account, /u/helen733 and searching for /u/helen73 brings back NO USERS!

I know why too, now the penny has dropped! I started a new sub today because I love reading menus from great restaurants around the world. So, I want links to online menus from people who have eaten at the place. It's /r/greatmenus (just saying! NOT spamming!). I went into /r/food and promoted it a little bit. Well, maybe a lot. But I have seen other people do that, and they don't get banned. Sometimes I have even seen a sub trending after seeing it promoted on a different sub. I honestly thought it was standard practice for promoting new subs!!

I just wanted to start a nice new food sub. I have god KNOWS how many great posts, my own and saved, tied up in my original account. I had about 8,000 link karma and over 5,000 comment in 8 months. I know I'm no /u/unidan, but I still just feel heartbroken. 

What can I do?????????

Give me a shortened version of the text
