From @DerfJagged on Discord:

Hey guys, I noticed that AvoidBot on reddit isn't actually handing out bans, it just says it does. See the latest banned guy on the subreddit, I banned him myself but AvoidBot had left him a comment saying he was banned when he really wasn't

fix it

In the sample config, you have an incorrect User Agent, see this snippet from Reddit's API guide:

Change your client's User-Agent string to something unique and descriptive, including the target platform, a unique application identifier, a version string, and your username as contact information, in the following format:
<platform>:<app ID>:<version string> (by /u/<reddit username>)
Example: User-Agent: android:com.example.myredditapp:v1.2.3 (by /u/kemitche)
Many default User-Agents (like "Python/urllib" or "Java") are drastically limited to encourage unique and descriptive user-agent strings.
Including the version number and updating it as you build your application allows us to safely block old buggy/broken versions of your app.
NEVER lie about your user-agent. This includes spoofing popular browsers and spoofing other bots. We will ban liars with extreme prejudice.

Perhaps it is different in your main application, but your bot faces becoming deactivated otherwise

If allowed by server setting, Discord supports posting emotes from other servers with this format: <:emote:1234567890>

Currently, AvoidBot is flagging fifthglyphs that appear within the emote name.

The logic for stripping out links and mentions may leave behind associated punctuation.
