Doesn't Reddit automatically ban any new accounts you make after any of your accounts are banned?

    It depends on how angry you made them when they banned you. But you used to be able to use other 3rd party apps to get around the ban. Idk how it works now that most apps don't work, maybe I should try making a new account to find out.

    I got "don't talk to me or my kids ever again" banned by Reddit. Making a new account in a FireFox multi-account container was fine. Adding an email that is closely related to my previous ones (gmail dot tricks) got it banned. So it seems easy to work around, just don't do the obvious things.

    My ban was for "Report Abuse", something I didn't even know was against the rules as I checked the TOS, and it's actually not there.

    It wasn't like I was even abusing it really, I honestly thought I was using it correctly... Inspite of all the "Sorry, this blatant bigotry is actually not a TOS violation"

    Yeah, but didn't they ban the 2nd and 3rd for Ban Evasion?

    Nope. 2nd was banned after that video of Ron Pearlman talking about studio execs needing to watch their back. I said something to the effect of 'if hellboy said let's go burn down some houses I'd follow him'. Permaban. No warning. Inciting violence. I was on that account for over a year.

    3rd account is still going strong.

    For how long have you had the 3rd account?

    A month or so. It's basic common knowledge you can just make new accounts there. You see people talking about it all the time.

    I really don't know what the difference is honestly? My first one said permanently suspended and when I said let's go burn some houses down it said I'm permanently banned. But in each instance I just made a new account on a new email and went right back to business as usual.
