…its kinda funny that I received a lifetime ban from reddit for glorifying violence.

…with a joke about Princess Leia killing Jabba the Hutt no less

    Pissed off a mod on a large sub, got banned for “ban evasion” (I only had 1 account)
    Later learned I could get rid of the name I picked when I was 12 by deleting and remaking my account.
    months later I accidentally commented in that large sub something totally innocent and got automatically permabanned from ALL of reddit. Appeal got denied instantly too

      You need to essentially be nothing but apologetic, even if you don’t think you did something wrong. You also need to say what you did wrong, and what you will do to prevent it in the future.

      Yeah. “Reddit admin” is the 5th Cluster B personality disorder. Its like when you’re young and the guy in class with the most prominent Adam’s apple gets put in charge while the teacher takes a piss.

        No…they’re much dirtier than that, apparently, although it’s difficult to know for sure. There are many results in Google if you look for methods, and sometimes people in the biz chime in with some good answers, but it’s still mostly speculation.

          I used the same email haha
          I wasn’t trying to hide or break rules, I was just changing my name because the old one was cringey 😅

          I’m sure they do have loads of ways to detect alts though, it’s a pretty interesting field security wise.

        Not just IP but cookies that load everytime you log in. When they want to ban you they send you one of these cookies.
