Reddit: Evolving Moderation on Reddit: Reshaping Boundaries

Doing something about the excessive use of automated filters. On many popular subs, it's close to impossible to prevent your posts from being filtered. What is the point of having mods when the actual job of moderation is outsourced to algos?

Second, allowing an option for users who are banned from subreddits rejoin even if the ban is permanent. Many mods abuse this power to prevent people from ever participating , even for no justifiable reason.

A decade ago, you could just create a new account, but the loophole was closed and will get your accounts all banned at once.

This is how it was in the 'old' days of V-Bulletin or AOL: you would just reset the modem/router, get a new IP, and be careful to not be banned again. It was implicitly understood some previously banned people would reenter on good behavior, which was a good compromise.

Third, for many niches, often there is a single dominant subreddit, and getting banned means no good alternatives. This a further argument for changing how bans are handled to allow users to reenter later even if the ban was permanent.
