I originally posted irregularly on a sub and when I asked a mod for help as to why my posts weren’t being approved, he randomly banned me from the sub without asking. I messaged and he said in the future I will be allowed again, he said 30 days.

When I logged out of my first account on my pc accidentally, I had to make a new one because I hadn’t written my password down.

On my second account, since the 30 days passed, I made a post on that sub. I woke up to seeing reddit saying I got permabanned for ban evasion, and they won’t reply to my pleas.

I found it really frustrating. I tried waiting 3 weeks after that and Making a new account. It got banned in 8 hours. Next week I make a new account, again banned in 8 hours.

I’m extremely disheartened that I got banned over a mistake and now I’m unable to use reddit at all.

Anybody else relate to this?

I use reddit for university subs as well so it’s very frustrating I can’t ask questions anymore.

    Sucks and truly am sorry. I’ve been permanently banned 9 times. (Changed devices alot upgraded them alot)

    I learned, that if you want to keep your reddit account you don’t socialize on there, give advice or opinions either.

    You just have to go back to lurking and block every single person who’s an argument staRter even if they aren’t directly talking to you. Block them so they can’t see your shit. They don’t need to bc they’ll pick at it.

    You were too involved. That’s what happened .

    Get a second hand device from a Pawn shop if it means this much to you, make an another account not linking to your phone and use it to lurk only.

    You can comment but think before you do I wouldn’t recommend posting at all but that’s up to your discretion I guess. I wouldn’t posting just leaves you open to mass reporters who hate or don’t agree with the sentiment in your post.

    Just don’t in my opinion posting makes you a target

    Stop joining whatever sub banned you. It’s some system check. Make new acct, don’t follow any subs that banned you. Probably don’t post in them, then again it seems to be case by case

    Reddit is arbitrary.

    Welcome here. People might be arbitrary too, but their power is limited.

    I got banned from r/politics for saying we were just waiting for old people to croak. “Permabanned”. Lasted like 3.5 years? Idk why/when I was unbanned.

    Don’t sweat it. You’re literally better off.

    I had legitimate bans and completely ridiculous power tripping bans. I was always able to create a new account though. The trick is to mix and match different VPN’s/IP’s with different browsers/containers.

    Got a message saying I was banned from a sub I wasn’t even subscribed to and hadn’t posted to. I replied to the message telling them to get stuffed. They reported me and got me banned from Reddit for 3 days.

    So instead, I banned Reddit and haven’t looked back. F-'em.

    I was permabanned from a lefty sub for saying that Russia interfered in other country’s elections. I replied to the ban with a source. After a stupid reply from a mod and a stupid comeback on my part, I was permabanned. Why? Propagating US government propaganda.

    unplug your ISP modem for 10 minutes, connect it back, check if your external IP changed. your IP is probably banned, need to renew and your problems will be gone. if it doesn’t change IP, call ISP and tell them you want to refresh.

    They did the same thing to me. Perma banned over some petty shit. It’s made my life a lot better tbh I’m just upset I’ve lost so many secret Santa trophies
