I missed the part where you said you could log in. So yea I think our experience is consistent. You got banned for not having an email on your account?

I can't remember the exact wording of the justification for the ban, but it was something vague like "violation of site wide policy". I did not do anything questionable to trigger a ban. I suspect that the real reason for the ban was to force me to provide an email address. The reason I think that is that old reddit displays the message "provide an email address to reactivate your account".
