I'm not a mod but have gone through the same thing, it's a 3 month ban only on the global leaderboard and the moderators are unable to remove the ban.
#banned for sleep scrobbling

that is correct, thank you @unkempt jolt.
if you don't exceed the thresholds, in three months your account will be reinstated for global functions.
technically, we should permanently block you for having an impossible number of plays on your account.
you have over eighteen days of music on your profile for last week.
I can only not permanently block your account if you remove the plays on it that are past what is physically possible.
by deleting them on last.fm.
if you can go through your history and remove the plays that aren't yours, and this returns the plays to a possible amount, then I won't permanently block your account.
that's what we're discussing.
plays and scrobbles are the same thing.
if the issue is that you're sharing your account, just remove the ones that aren't yours and if you're not faking them, this should give you a reasonable number of plays.
whatever you actually listened to.
it will need to be your entire account, not just for the previous week.
for example, the week before that you had nine days of music in seven days.
no, just tell me here when you do it.

You'd be perm-banned from just global
tawdry ridge
that's correct, but all global functions including featured.
there are third party options for mass deleting plays.
you'd have to ask the last.fm discord about those. I don't know more about them, sorry.
when you're selected by fmbot to have an album from your listens as the fmbot pfp and your account shown in #featured.
