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.
I got banned simply for logging into the site with a VPN supposedly for ban evasion. I had never been banned previously.
You’re not alone and it really is that pants-on-head dumb. They have so many users that it doesn’t matter. They don’t care if some legit users get banned.
I got banned from pcmasterrace for mentioning the old precursor to hydrohomies. Seeing as how it contained the “n word”, I took precaution to censor myself and use asterisks, “water******”. I was banned just for insinuating the name of the subreddit. Nevermind the subreddit was good-natured, open and friendly to all (except soda drinkers). And of course the mod that banned me was was telling me bullshit in my appeal like “quit trying to be cute”. What an asshole.
I got permabanned for making a topically-relevant meme reference lol
Guy on Reddit: Fat people are disgusting!
Me: the coolest people I know dont give a shit, they have better things to do than get upset that someone has a weight problem
Reddit guy: Your a loser!
Me: Get a life! You must be projecting your dissatisfaction with your own body.Permabanned for harrassment. Didnt bother fighting it. Couldnt be happier, not enguaging with 50 thousand teenagers has helped my sanity
