I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That’s on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.

However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.

Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I’m also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.

    I got banned simply for logging into the site with a VPN supposedly for ban evasion. I had never been banned previously.

    You’re not alone and it really is that pants-on-head dumb. They have so many users that it doesn’t matter. They don’t care if some legit users get banned.

    Guy on Reddit: Fat people are disgusting!
    Me: the coolest people I know dont give a shit, they have better things to do than get upset that someone has a weight problem
    Reddit guy: Your a loser!
    Me: Get a life! You must be projecting your dissatisfaction with your own body.

    Permabanned for harrassment. Didnt bother fighting it. Couldnt be happier, not enguaging with 50 thousand teenagers has helped my sanity
