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.

    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.
