Banned for "ban evasion" for the account harassing me
My Reddit account was banned today for “ban evasion”. The account they think I was evading a ban for was an account belonging to a user that I recently reported for harassing me. So they banned me for being harassed, basically. Appeal is going ignored. Has this happened to anyone else?
brain drain, they want consumers that dont question things
welcome to the old reddit community tho, bring your friends
They ignore all appeals and always have been. Any new accounts will pull your previously logged in device ID's and instantly ban them too. Leave it behind bro. The site is dead.
Yeah, I guess I just give up now. The person who was harassing me (with death and rape threats) did get their account back, I saw. But mine will stay banned for reporting it.
Hello OP.
I think I may have found a way to get more information from Reddit, as well as waste the time of their lawyers.
Send this copy/pasta to [email protected] if you've been banned:
Make sure to enter your name and private information in the above template where appropriate.
GDPR is absolutely amazing. I got some big shitty companies to heel already. So be sure to submit GDPR complaints whenever you see something!
In one case I got a big company in trouble for the following bullshit:
I have had official documents mailed to me about legal findings and proceedings regarding my complaints.
Brilliant.
It took me 10 seconds to copy/paste the above legalese. They have made their legal apartment the only way I can contact them. Then fine I guess. If that's what they want
Could you just give them your username and a PO box. Not a fan of giving them my legal information.
Get on Reddit at work? If you share any public internet with literally ANY other Reddit troll who's been banned, they just simply saw your IP address matched, and banned you because of that connection.
I was on public Wi-Fi somewhere recently. That’s seriously enough to do this? May as well get it over with and ban everybody then.
Yes, it can be enough to do this.
I don’t have a previous one that was banned. This is my only account and it’s the second time it’s been banned without a warning for something I didn’t do. This time when I appeal they think the account that harassed me was another of mine, but it wasn’t.
