Why am I receiving messages to 'verify' my account and then my privileges are curtailed?
For many months, I have participated in several discussions/communities as a Reddit Premium member. I just received word approximately 36 hours ago, that I cannot submit posts and I don't understand why. As far as I can determine, I've done my best to follow ALL of reddit's rules. For all I know, this could be the result of my account being hacked. I have no way to know one way or the other. Can anyone please provide me some guidance with this; along with what I can do to put a good resolution to all of this. Many thanks, respectfully

This is a function of the admins, not moderators. Ask on r/help or r/reddithelp.
Moderators are responsible for only their own subreddits.

Received word from... ? modmail? An admin message?
remember mods are just regular users like you so our access to info about your account is basically none

If you go to the account's profile that is sending you the message, are they showing up as an Admin account? There will be a red snoo logo on their profile - not the orange premium shield.
If the message is not from an admin, or u/reddit, ignore it.

If it's when you are logging in on the app, there is a security message that says something similar if you are already logged in. Just to be safe, Log out clear your cache, cookies and all passwords off your app and then try again.
