    I used to mod two pretty large subs (iirc something like a combined ~400k subscribers) and we had no way to detect ban evasion other than the user being stupid and obviously giving themselves away (eg. “fuck you mods, I’ll just keep making new accounts”). This was fairly recently and I left the site and quit modding about a month after they pulled the API bullshit and booted Apollo and other apps.

    So unless reddit added additional tools for mods, your story doesn’t quite add up here.







  • I bet old.reddit is gonna be axed fairly soon. All signs point that way.

    • Killing the free API access and thereby putting most 3rd party apps out of commission
    • The expensive rebrand from pentagram
    • Reddit all but officially announcing they’re going for the IPO finally (plans leaked to the press)
    • Unpopular redesign of the new reddit layout which I assume will push a group of folks back to old.reddit

    Also wouldn’t surprise me if RES is killed off in the not too distant future.

    Edit: wow that new redesign they just pushed is indeed pretty bad
