Permabanned over a mistake on reddit, feeling really upset over it.
I originally posted irregularly on a sub and when I asked a mod for help as to why my posts weren't being approved, he randomly banned me from the sub without asking. I messaged and he said in the future I will be allowed again, he said 30 days.
When I logged out of my first account on my pc accidentally, I had to make a new one because I hadn't written my password down.
On my second account, since the 30 days passed, I made a post on that sub. I woke up to seeing reddit saying I got permabanned for ban evasion, and they won't reply to my pleas.
I found it really frustrating. I tried waiting 3 weeks after that and Making a new account. It got banned in 8 hours. Next week I make a new account, again banned in 8 hours.
I'm extremely disheartened that I got banned over a mistake and now I'm unable to use reddit at all.
Anybody else relate to this?
I use reddit for university subs as well so it's very frustrating I can't ask questions anymore.
I’m dealing with this too. I got banned from one sub by a whiny mod while trying to correct misinformation about the industry I work in, figured I’d just make a new account and move on. Didn’t realize how sophisticated their detection was and ended up getting permabanned. Even with a VPN and a new email using Brave I get new account banned in less than a day, I have no idea how they do it.
Really sucks since I participated in a lot of small hobby and support subs that I can’t replace anywhere else.
