I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That’s on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.
However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.
Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I’m also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.

This was one of reddit mod’s famous rando-bans. Something you could have never foreseen and a warning would have solved.
3rd time will be an admin permaban. This is part of the enshitification that mismanagement paid for.
I got permabanned for asking mods to do something about the shit posts that violate their rules.
Just browse it logged off on the old site on a desktop. Or better yet, stop visiting that website entirely.
That’s why I’m here! I scrubbed my comment and post history with Redact this morning. I’d like to think that will prevent them feeding my comments/posts into AI model but I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually use the pre-scrubbed versions.
if
droidsSpez could think, there’d be none of us here.
I had a 3 day ban earlier this month for my first bad report lmao. To me, it read as hate/violence, and I had been curious as to what was actionable vs. not. Had 5 reports sent, first 3 successfully acted against (blatant racism/calls for genocide etc.). First one that was flagged as bad got me a 3 day ban. The second bad report didn’t seem to do anything but have a message sent my way.
Had a second ban recently and decided I was sick of fighting their garbage system. I had paused scrapping my 10 year old account due to a lot of the account tools breaking down, but I’ve found one that let’s me alter all old posts and scrub them, so I’ve resumed that.
And now they want to sell the content of my old banned account while refusing me access lmao.
They’re banning for reporting now‽
No joke. Blew my mind.
Just to be clear, I mean full on reddit account ban, not subreddit ban.
Yep. Bunch of silly ban-happy assholes in charge these days. I never even got so much as a warning on one account when it was suddenly permabanned. The comment that got me the ban? Agreeing with OP in a thread just like this that bans were getting out of hand…
And it’s happened to many, many others as well.
After the app protests, they basically put the shittiest, power tripping toadies in charge of a lot of subs, after the decent mods left or were kicked out. Well, fuck ‘em.
Yeah people have been getting banned for all sorts of stupid reasons for nearly a year now. My friend got a site wide ban for calling someone a moron…in a story. It’s beyond Amy sort of rationalization at this point, just let it rot. You won’t be the last.
Its been going on for longer than that. I haven’t been able to post on /r/sports for years. They were supposed to reinstate everyone from the /r/AFL feud but mine is still banned.
I once got permabanned from r/eyeblech for posting a joke on there. I wasn’t even the first one to do so. But I was able to appeal it.
For those who don’t know, r/eyeblech was a gore subreddit. I posted a video of putting milk in the bowl first, then cereal. I guess that was way too far xD.
Damn son, people have been tried in The Hague for less 🙀
I got IP-banned for saying I’d lick the sweat out of a fat chick’s folds. I think we can guess why the mod was angry
leaving reddit due to bans is a bummer. leaving because reddit sucks is better.
Similar happened to me. I got banned from 2westerneurope4u and another mod unbanned me a few weeks later. So I commented again.
Permaban from Reddit for evading a ban.
Any time I created a new account it would be banned for ban evasion.
So I can’t comment on Reddit unless I set up an account with a VPN.
Fuck all that.
And then you probably need to do it on a separate browser that you’ve never logged in to reddit before. Rumor has it they are using device fingerprints to tie accounts together.
