I hate googling things and just being lead back to reddit... Where my account was permabanned for "Report Abuse", something literally not even discussed in their TOS
And they're not every clear on if I'm allowed to use an alternate account, they just said "If you go onto another account and continue this misbehavior it'll be banned", which sounds like I'm allowed to use an alt, but..... only if it plays by the rules, but else where I'm seeing that "Ban Evasion" is against the rules, so which is it Jim Jam?
Their stance is that you personally are banned for life from subs regardless of which account. Would be a real shame if your IP got changed between accounts, your cookies and local storage got cleared, and you never mentioned the old account again. You could accidentally post in a sub you got banned from, and they wouldn't be able to helpfully re-ban you from the sub!
If you were still trying to spend time on reddit in the first place at least.
That's what my "friend" did. Reddit banned every account he used on his phone at once, but with a different IP, desktop browser, and cookie isolation, they haven't noticed so far. He might sound like some professional troll, but he was actually banned for a stupid reason.
