I am not advocating for ban evasion.

Reddit has implemented a powerful ban evasion filter that catches ban evaders who use alternate accounts to post on a subreddit they were banned from. Though, the same cannot be said for sitewide suspensions. While simply using a fingerprinting-blocking browser that deletes cookies every time you close the browser, you can circumvent a sitewide suspension, but evading a subreddit ban seems impossible.

So why does Reddit prevent circumventing a subreddit ban while they are okay with sitewide suspension evasions? Don’t get me wrong, I respect Reddit for not being too punishing to its users, but it still feels weird that they gave moderators so much power while administrators don’t use it at all. Mind explaining their choices?

Again, I am not advocating for ban evasion, and please do not circumvent a ban.

    I respect Reddit

    That’s not something you hear very often lately.
