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.
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.
That sounds exhausting.
How do you get banned?
Just clear your cookies lol.
Doest work, tried that and eveything else. I found that using Brave browser works but found it wasn’t worth it.
I guess they’re using browser fingerprints beyond cookies, such as WebGL to ID your hardware. Firefox on Strict with uBlockOrigin would probably prevent them IDing you. I doubt your IP factors in much because many people share IPs and it automatically rotates once in a while anyway.
How do you get around this
Use different email address, new account, VPN active, uBlock Origin. https://medium.com/@viralboost/how-to-evade-and-prevent-a-reddit-ban-october-2022-7708bcaf366
