I don't know why you're going through all that effort instead of just creating a new account.

I don't know why you're going through all that effort instead of just creating a new account.
- read_if_gay_ 5y agoObviously your opinion is not wanted there. So why go the extra mile? Just move on.
- huibf 5y agoModerators do very rarely speak for the community they moderate.
- read_if_gay_ 5y agoTrue, but they are the ones with all the power. I think you’re fighting not just an uphill but an impossible battle. With very little upside to you if you win.
- adar 5y agoIt takes about 10 seconds to create a new Reddit account so it's the moderators who'd be fighting the uphill, impossible battle to keep someone banned.
- throwaway6734 5y agoReddit provides tooling to identify people on new accounts that have been banned in the past. I think you'd need to couple this with a VPN
- intended 5y agoVPNs dont matter anyway. Just make a new account. Unless you have some topic you constantly focus on, or have a tag line you repeat, you will be invisible.
- throwaway6734 5y agoThis is not true (speaking from personal experience)
- belltaco 5y agoNot true. Only admins can see alt accounts(based on IP address), and they never reveal alt accounts of others to even mods.
- throwaway6734 5y agoI've had new accounts banned for participating in subreddits where old accounts had been banned
- UncleSlacky 5y agoSpeaking as a Reddit mod, it's often possible to identify ban evaders through their use of language.
- throwaway6734 5y agoThis was a very large subreddit and my new account had very little content at the time
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoBy kicking out everyone they don't agree with over time they curate an echo chamber of the few that they do speak for.
- PartiallyTyped 5y agoIf an account is banned (not shadow-banned) and reddit finds out the person uses other accounts to evade it, they suspend (but not ban) both temporarily.
- Leparamour 5y ago> I don't know why you're going through all that effort instead of just creating a new account. I think there is some kind of IP or cookie based identification going on. One of my accounts was permabanned on the German /r/de subreddit for publically questioning a mod decision. At the next login I found that ALL of my accounts that I used for serious and professional subreddits (netsec, python, learnmachinelearning) and never once used on /r/de had also been permabanned. I wrote to the helpdesk but they only told me to contact the mods of /r/de which is impossible if you're permabanned.
- krono 5y agoI'm not exactly motivated to ever return now that I've learned that this how active community members in good standing can expect to be treated.
- ianleeclark 5y agoSeems you weren't in good standing.
- krono 5y agoLooking at the level of engagement and fake internet points my posts across the subs in this network received over the last 11 years, I can at least die happy knowing the community members thought I was a pretty cool guy. The mods can go .. themselves.
- dangisanazi 5y agoCan go what? You were about to be confident, then you self censored like a coward
- yourusername 5y agoThey will shadowban your new account unless you only use the new account through a VPN (and possibly take other steps to prevent them associating the two accounts).
