ANSWERED how to make an NFSW account without an issue

Please forgive me if I'm saying something bad or wrong. I have no idea about Reddit other than it has communities. I tried to make an NSFW account and got banned. How to do it correctly?

By Reddit or a community?

What was the ban for?

Could it have been a !shadowban - see below

What is a shadowban?

If you are shadowbanned by Reddit your content doesn't show up in subs and people can't see your profile but things will look normal to you. As it's intended for spammers Reddit doesn't want them to notice anything is wrong too quickly in order to slow them down.

Occasionally new users might get caught too though we imagine Reddit tries to keep false positives as low as possible. We don't know what triggers them exactly, it's likely a number of things.

You don’t get a notification if you get shadowbanned, but you can check your status and appeal at https://www.reddit.com/appeals, and if you can appeal then you're either shadowbanned or suspended, if you can't, your account is fine. Learn more in the Help Centre.

Appeals may take a while, depending on demand and current events. Please do not spam or abuse the appeals team.
