Lot of websites in general have gotten all weird about minors because they think it’s child exploitation. Even minors are getting punished on reddit for it. It’s algorithm. As if teens don’t have sex and sexual preferences and aren’t dealing with puberty. If two teens try to meet up, say bye bye to your account. It’s against site policy to meet up with a minor but I don’t think a minor is going to think it includes two minors meeting up with each other. I don’t think Romeo and Juliet would be considered either.

Also to all parents out there, do not back up your family to cloud because most of us have taken nude photos of our toddlers and infants. They will be tagged as CP and your account will be disabled locking you out and no access to your photos. Always keep backup, copy copy copy.

Thing is my alt was ban first. Then my main. This is where its difficult.

But I never commented in subs i got banned from. That’s the thing. I had been using my alt for a couple of months. I’m thinking it was an IP thing when I used hotel wi fi so another suspended account got linked to mine and whatever reddit admin did with their bot for updates got my accounts suspended hours apart. This isn’t the first time reddit has messed up with their bots and knowledge it. They only do something about it when moderators make a big stink about bans like subreddit bans, bunch of their users getting banned. It’s happened before. Then they fix it by uplifting the bans.

Some reason my new account isn’t banned yet and I haven’t commented. Maybe because I cleared cookies on my browsers, logged out of all suspended accounts, made a new one with email not associated with any emails to my banned accounts.

Nope. Never heard of them.

I wiped out cookies on my phone. Used my son’s Google account he abandoned and made a new reddit account. I will see how long it lasts. Hasn’t been 48 hrs yet. I did modmail them in help about appeal and asked a couple questions about my unique situation. No response but no site wide ban yet, my two accounts still suspended. What gives? Are they teasing me? It’s not shadow banned either. I will just give it time before their bot catches it. Maybe the admins are sitting back and waiting for it to happen. I swear they’re incompetent if they have bots do their jobs for them and ignore users requests and modmails about suspensions.

Now I won’t log into my banned accounts. I’m guessing emails that were associated with banned accounts will be auto suspended. Youtube works that way too. Have a recovery email linked to your email that was used with account that got banned, auto banned. I have different emails, including one from when I was 17 I hadn’t used in years.

Oh yeah and I got two newsletters from reddit about how to get karma and then the second one telling me to get karma.

I think this is how i got banned. I used hotel wifi to save on data and I was listening to YouTube and I got on reddit forgetting I wasn’t on mobile data. The suspension happened two weeks later and then my main account got banned because it was connected on my reddit app and logged in with my alt account.

I got kafkaesque banned. Just a generic message you get about multiple repeated violations when you have been suspended before and opened a new account and got caught for ban evasion. Reddit admins ignore appeals and messages about it. They let bots handle it. Even my friend tried to ask them for me in r/help about my unique situation but it got removed quickly.

My only defense is i never recieved any other messages about site rules I broke and no previous suspensions and I used hotel wifi and no other accounts are mine that got linked. They’re supposed to have the 3 strike rule and 4th offense, perm suspension. I never got that.

I didn’t get shadowbanned, I got site wide suspension.

Ignoring context of post, if a mod decides they don’t like a user based on username or post history, they can just do this. So messed up given admins use bots to run the site.

I saw i had a proxy IP but I can’t even help that because it’s automatic and I have no idea how to change it. I’m tech illiterate. I know some places will ban you for a proxy. I’ve gotten that accusation before on a forum and I knew nothing about proxy IP. I only guessed that assumption came from me moving house 5 times in 1 year because I was a young adult. My parents, my own, my aunt and uncles, my ex, then my apartment and we have had to change internet providers a few times for cost. But the mods used that as a scapegoat to blame other issues in me other users did I didn’t do, especially when I got impersonated. Sorry for living lol. Humans move you know and access the internet wherever. Some people use a paid vpn to keep their IP consistent because they access the internet all over because they travel a lot for work.

Maybe I was banned for my proxy UP, who knows. I never ban evaded. I never created a new account to evade a ban. Both my accounts existed before the ban wave. I take website policies seriously. If I am so butthurt by someone, I block them and move on than following them and commenting on their posts or getting into petty arguements.

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.

I’m surprised they let me play it as a banned user.

I hear they disable/delete your account but they let me keep mine. “Oh we will let you log in but you can no longer post. Oh we will let you vote still and play this nice little game for April Fools in r/field. Oh we will let you have a new account for a half hour to modmail the admins. Oh we will let you save posts and delete your own comments.”

My reddit experience right now.
