    Isn’t it trivial anyway, since you can still create unlimited anonymous accounts via old.reddit?

    wait, you can do that? does it check IP?

      I had over 10 different reddit accounts throught the years. Few of them were banned from certain subs but I just came back later with a different account and they never banned me again. I’m using a VPN though.

          If you use it from the same IP, browser, device, or App, that you have previously used with any banned account, then you’ll likely get it banned for ban evasion.

            yeah banned again, took about 12 hours. lovely aggressive message about my ‘multiple, repeated violations’. VPN sounds better idea, tried it once but was also banned again quick, someone suggested the IP might have previously been used for similar things

      It checks IP for things like you trying to boost your own posts. Beyond that it’s fine.
