    I was permanently banned on my first account of 11 years for saying “everyone would want to punch Nazis”, no prior issues ever, the appeal was instantly rejected. I was permanently banned on my next account for making the mistake of saying I was banned on my other account about 2 years after the fact. From that point on I was fully IP banned so I could only use Reddit with a VPN made account. If I ever accidentally logged in on my computer because I forgot, even years later, instantly banned. All because I said Nazis should get punched. As far as I’m concerned, this all started when China got involved in Reddit via Tencent and Ellen Pao. Reddit just, BY TOTAL RANDOM COINCIDENCE, became super defensive about anything China or communist related and started handing out bans any time people said no no words (sounds like TikTok to me.)

        No they don’t. I can say that with confidence as it happened several times. The reason was always “ban evasion” and there were several months in between. So either someone else used the IP in that time and got banned and refreshed it, or you’re just wrong.

          Huh.

          I had the same thing happen. Even a ten year account I didn’t use was included and any I made for a few weeks. So I left new qccounts alone and only used my banned account to view for quite awhile, then decided to make another account one day and it’s been working fine for quite a few months now. I made sure to not add all the same subs I used to have and just slowly integrated what I wanted back in.

          Maybe it was longer than a couple months now that I think about it, but I still think there is a limit.
