      What I think happened:

      • First account banned on r/australia only by AI for inciting violence on r/australia for technical discussion of BJJ. I appealed the ban.
      • Second account, I messaged the r/australia mods to ban the account so I didn’t get busted for ban evasion. Ban given.
      • First account has AI ban revoked. I eventually make a comment on r/australia, ban evasion bots see the IP or email address attached to the account matches their shitlist, bots go into ban evasion mode, accounts get permanently suspended.
      • I had about seven reddit accounts. A bunch of novelty ones made during lockdown. I requested bans from r/australia on these accounts, I only got temp 28 day bans on some. I eventually made a comment on r/australia, got the ban evasion message from r/australia auto-mod, replied impolitely that I’d already reqested a ban months ago and I was glad to be banned. All my reddit accounts got nuked. New accounts from IP or email get nuked. New account from temp email and vpn is fine.

      i think.

          Look it is what it is. With the API changes and IPO, I feel reddit has been circling the drain. Mods needing to use these bots is a sign of the end times. The new account created isn’t allowed to post anywhere due to age and karma, which’ll put genuine new users off IMO.
