Sounds like you’ve never been banned in Reddit. You don’t realise how differently mods on power trip understand the word “harrassment”. Or anything else.
I was permanently banned on my first account of 11 years for saying “everyone would want to punch Nazis”, no prior issues ever, the appeal was instantly rejected. I was permanently banned on my next account for making the mistake of saying I was banned on my other account about 2 years after the fact. From that point on I was fully IP banned so I could only use Reddit with a VPN made account. If I ever accidentally logged in on my computer because I forgot, even years later, instantly banned. All because I said Nazis should get punched. As far as I’m concerned, this all started when China got involved in Reddit via Tencent and Ellen Pao. Reddit just, BY TOTAL RANDOM COINCIDENCE, became super defensive about anything China or communist related and started handing out bans any time people said no no words (sounds like TikTok to me.)
No they don’t. I can say that with confidence as it happened several times. The reason was always “ban evasion” and there were several months in between. So either someone else used the IP in that time and got banned and refreshed it, or you’re just wrong.
I had the same thing happen. Even a ten year account I didn’t use was included and any I made for a few weeks. So I left new qccounts alone and only used my banned account to view for quite awhile, then decided to make another account one day and it’s been working fine for quite a few months now. I made sure to not add all the same subs I used to have and just slowly integrated what I wanted back in.
Maybe it was longer than a couple months now that I think about it, but I still think there is a limit.
About 3 months ago I was banned for saying “People have the right to use like force to defend themselves against an attacker, including using deadly force. It’s not a happy outcome. But neither is being a victim.” It was a comment on an article about a homeowner who killed a burglar, so context is king. /r/news banned me and reported me for “threatening violence”. Then I got an account warning (whatever that means) by Reddit.
When I contacted the admin team, I got a ban for abusive reporting.
%reddit%.com is now blocked in my DNS. Fuck those fucks, they don’t even deserve my ad revenue from searches.
Reddit has a strict nonviolence in comments policy, whether it be in support of self defence, or defence of others. Exclusions apply to some extent in supporting state sanctioned police and military violence.
they’re not OK with violence except this type of violence which is an overwhelming type of violence
But yeah fr fr they only reason they banned /thedickhead is because they started going after the cops. Extremely mask off considering all the other shit they said leading up to that point was way more violent but it was against people they didn’t like so it was permissible.
And then they turn around and host tons of fight subs showing video of people getting the tar beat out of them. If that’s what adults want to watch then more power to them but so much for the whole “no mentions of violence are allowed” rule.
It’s not that strict. There was a thread full of people advocating the torture and murder of HP printer executives for their printer bullshit and nothing happened to any of them. I know because I was banned the day before for saying something similar about child molesters and kept an eye on that thread. I asked what the difference was in my appeal and just got their canned response that the ban was going to be upheld. Reddit admins care about specifically creating a safe space for child molesters… for some reason…

Reddit is a trash place in general.

ip ban wears off after a month or two

Huh.

nope, just tested over 3 months, account flagged in about 12 hours
Yeah. Reddit went downhill…
Reddit was literally created to be a hangout for pedo nazis. Reddit never fell, it was never good.
Yeah suuuuure… 😅😅😅
The message and the is sitewide and from reddit. Subreddit mods weren’t involved

I said that I would smack someone from a story, and clearly in a figurative way. Banned for promoting physical violence. Okay?
(I’ve never hit anyone ever, by the way.)

Yet they let the post about the break in and shooting be posted. You just can’t comment on what was in the post? How stupid Reddit has become.

You’re right. I haven’t been banned on Reddit. I was more of a lurker though. Didn’t participate in any political/sexuality/gender things either.
