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.

    unplug your ISP modem for 10 minutes, connect it back, check if your external IP changed. your IP is probably banned, need to renew and your problems will be gone. if it doesn’t change IP, call ISP and tell them you want to refresh.

      They can not possibly ban using ip? That is wild. With the amount of CGNAT beeing used, hundreds of people can be behind a single ip.
