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.

    Here is what I think happened:

    • subreddit banned account A for 30 days
    • when I commented from a secondary account, it was perma-banned from the subreddit.
    • reddit then site banned Account A for 7 days.
    • I think the 30 day ban for Account A expired yesterday which allowed Account A to comment.
    • reddit then issued another site ban on Account A due to ban evasion. But Account A’s ban was for 30 days unlike the permaban which I think only applied to Account B.
