No warning, not even a "Don't do it again email" - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That's it, gone, banned.

I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that's banned too. FFS!

No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?

It’s probably the lying low for 30 days. In the 2000s and 2010s, I ran various websites and the hit counters I used would give me, for each visitor, the browser they used, the operating system, the screen resolution, the IP address, the city and state they were in, the internet provider company they were using like Xfinity, and whether they were a new user or not. If the person cleared their cookies or came back after the cookies expired then they appeared as a new visitor. If this info was tied to usernames and emails, it’d be easy to kinda figure out who is who. But not if not if they'd been gone for a while.

Also, I can’t remember exactly if this one company had it’s own IP or it was it’s own internet provider, but I do remember I could spot my ex-girlfriend looking at my sites while she was at work because she worked for this company and it would show up as part of the info. She got weirded out when I asked her why she was visiting my sites at work.

It's not worth it, some autistic psychopath that has nothing better to do than memorize writing patterns, is going to analyze everything you do, figure it out, and ban you.
