News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
This is becoming the norm. The ban system is totally broken as they're handing more and more tasks over to bad AIs. There are constantly tons of complaints from moderators about Reddit's various broken systems, including the ban system.
Possibly hacked and coopted account?
If rereddit or similar is still a thing, check the post history.
I don’t think so, the password was randomly generated
Still, give it a look. There's a scooby snack in it for you when you report back here
Are you using a VPN?
No
If you have two reddit accounts, and one gets banned, if you log into the other on the app or on the web with the same device then that account will be banned as well.
My main has 10s of thousands of karma from a different time in my life and it’s not banned
Then they probably wouldn't say it was okay to make another alt though.
... um... science
The best kind of science
also, why are you logging in to conduct your research? Log in is not required
Maybe using a vpn?
Even worse!!! Why log in, ESPECIALLY if using a VPN, lol. Defeats the purpose of using a VPN by being like "hey reddit this is still me, just using a new IP"
Because reddit has blocked guest VPN users lately.
Definitely defeats the point, but its deliberate.
Their bot detection must have realised that you're actually human.
I find that extraordinary posts that may seem incredulous may have the account banned.
What's odd is that they tell you you're banned for breaking an unnamed rule then invite you to create another account. If it were an offensive username, you'd think they would just force you to change it. What's the point of banning an account then asking the banned member to create another account?
Maybe they didn't like the username?
This is probably the only type of rules violation that could be fixed by creating another account, so this was exactly my thought.
Username is completely clean. It was something along the lines of “BeautifulPuppies”.
