I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That’s on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.

However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.

Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I’m also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.

    that’s what drove me away too!
    well it was a comment on worldnews, while it was getting pro-israel spammed…
    i was temporarily banned… like 3 days… then i forgot while on another account, and on christmas they permanently banned both accounts… one of which was 18 years old
    my comment that “circumvented the ban” was a very innocent pun… one sentence of just some super cheesy wordplay

    appeals were denied without any explanation or human response.
    and there’s just no way to have a conversation with any human involved.
    fuck reddit

    meanwhile the place is crawling with sock puppets with 40 accounts, but they pay so they don’t get banned.

    i’m pretty sure they’re just trying to purge way for the capitalists and their ipo

      Its sad because the ban of that 18 year old account wipes its ties to history off the internet if you didn’t save it on your own. It is fucking brutal. Removing the ability to find your history like that should be a crime.
