I was randomly banned without warning. I was posting and next thing I know, I had a message saying I’ve been suspended permentaly and to check my inbox. It was a generic message with “repeatedly violating multiple rules of conduct” and I was so confused. I followed their directions by checking my other account and i got nothing in it until hours later when I got that exact same message. Both appeals were denied. I’ve also contacted support but I hear they never respond back or it can take 2-3 months.
Has anyone been able to get their perm suspension uplifted or just create a new account and not get banned for ban evasion? How did you do it?
I’ve only been banned by device and email because my husband and son didn’t get banned. We all share the same wi fi.
Wait, many users are being banned right now?
I never ban evaded and I don’t know how I would multi bot. Reddit says we can have more than one account just as long as we don’t break the rules. I followed what their policy said. They even say make a new account if you don’t like your username but I’m afraid their bot will just ban you for posting in the same subreddits you did with your other account or if you get baned, your posts on your older account could show up as a ban evasion if one of the mods comes across your older post. I’m speculating this is how I was banned.
I guess shreddit all your comments first before moving onto a new account but what if reddit sees that as you trying to get around the rules and stuff when they said you would need to make a new account if you want to change your username.
from what ive seen the bans are so arbitrary, you dont even know what your being ban for, if you havnt violated any TOS rules. it could be a Subreddits filtering removing your comments triggering a ban. other things is if your using a VPN sometimes gets you flagged. but these 2 things are still ridiculous to result in a sitewide ban, shadowban is just as serious as a sitewide ban. its for these recent purges to be exact, so many occurred in FEB-MARCH.
alot of people are banned for evasion attempt, even that is kinda crazy too, usually they just perma-ban you from the sub, if you use another new acct to comment that of course will site wide ban you. but what they did is, temp ban some people then banned all thier accounts for ban evasion, retroactive bans, for example your temp ban was in a sub, and then it finds all your other accounts that commented previously in one or more subs they were banned in before with other accounts.
