Honestly most of the people who are banned are for silly reasons. At best, they can extend it to a few months but a site wide ip ban forever? Isn’t that a stretch?

I’ll tell you why I got banned - I have two accounts and I got banned from one subreddit for making a meta comment. I switched to my other account and commented unknowingly that it’s not allowed. My comment didn’t include any abuse, being mean, bullying or harassment. Next, a satire post was made on a sub and I gave a satirical reply (again no abuse etc) and it even receive 800+ up votes but guess what? I’m banned for identity related hate? It was a temp ban and I waited for it to get over. What I didn’t realize was that sub 1 banned me permanently in this duration and I happened to comment there - again a harmless comment like “xyz walked out” and lo and behold i have a permanent ban now.

I feel the mods on reddit are on a power trip and are really going to be the reason for its doom.

    I literally got banned for the same reason for LIFE. And my original ban was for a misunderstanding. I even spoke to the moderators and they said they are lifting my ban. So when I commented in ‘marriage’ with another account I assumed it wasn’t banned from there anymore. So I got done for ‘ban evasion’ and then all of a sudden they banned all my accounts and I think my IP address. It was insane! I had 18K karma which I earned over 3 years. Every single time I have appealed they have denied me. Seriously go screw them!
