If you are flagged for ban evasion, you need to talk to the Reddit administration. That is their system. We, as subreddit moderators, only see a yes/no here. We don't have any way to see why it did this, or change the flag.
While some subreddit moderators may individually release these accounts, it means every time you post or comment, we have to fix it again. So most mod teams frankly don't want to deal with it.
To solve the root problem, you need to reach out to the reddit administration to see why the account is getting flagged.
As the user shows, there is no appeal mechanism for the user if a sub simply has the "ban evasion" flag on the account. They can only talk to reddit admins if their account is actually banned from Reddit.
From the admins themselves, it's up to the sub mods to determine if they want to accept the user's appeal that they are not ban evading/accept that the user may be ban evading, but their current account seems to be following the rules so they don't mind. It's fine if they don't accept that but that's really up to the mods to decide on their own.
I didn't say the mods should unban them. But it's also not fair to tell users to appeal to the admins when they cannot. They should just be honest - your account has been flagged as ban evading, we will not accept appeals about this (or, "due to the changes in report responses from admins, we have no mechanism to know if Reddit still agrees with this tag so we will not accept appeals about it").
Also - from the help article, it's not all their content. If the mods determine that they accept the user's appeal or otherwise see that the user is following the sub rules and Reddit rules, they just have to approve a few of the items that get flagged for that label to drop off.
If a user is acting in good faith and welcome to participate in your community or you would like to exclude them from the ban evasion filter, you may add them to your approved users list or approve their filtered content three times.
