I was perma banned on Reddit for creating a profile to get around a suspension. Any ideas how to get around the ban?

    They ban by user metrics. If you really feel the need to interact with that clown show, get a VPN and don’t sub to everything you subbed on your banned account.

    Maybe it’s your IP address? I’m not sure how Reddit does preliminary screening, they might be seeing your IP address trying to create a new account when you previous account was accessing from the same IP.

    Also, what got you banned? Admit the silly thing you did.

        I’ve had 2 accounts with over 100k karma each perma-banned for very similar reasons. If you access via the mobile app, they will also ban any other account you use the app to log in with.

    Appeal it and say it was a mistake, and be contrite and apologetic. You might catch an admin on a good day.
