    @QueenHawlSera @nightlily pretty sure that you just have to consider reddit as having been very much broken for a number of years now.
    They erroneously ban good users and encourage the trolls.
    The only way the experience is bearable is just to block idiots yourself and not engage.

        I was a paying user who accidentally used an alt account a day before a ban was up.

        The ban was ridiculous and unjustified but I understand alt accounts are against the rules. My appeal was rejected.

        It was stupid if me to pay in the first place. My profile was linked to my real identity as result.

        @QueenHawlSera lol. they blocked my account for having been created to evade a previous ban. Which was odd. First account there.
        Figured it was some automated bollocks they’d be able to check.
        Appealed, they reinstated it. Then permabanned it later same day for same reason. Gave up.

          Sadly that scans, apparently Reddit is one of the hardest websites to do a ban evade on because it does so many checks. If it gets the slightest whiff of something pertaining to a banned account, they ban you and increase the amount of checks they do.

          Not surprised they have false positives.
