I use reddit as a regular user. No promotions, no harassment.
I got banned from a subreddit for submitting 3 on topic links too soon after each other. I used an alt account to get around that and all of my accounts got permanently suspended for ban evasion.
I tried going back to reddit
- deleting all of my reddit cookies from Firefox ( the same browser I used for my old accounts )
- logging into my VPN service
- creating a new account with a very different username
- using a fresh email address with the new account and from a different email provider
- avoided posting in subreddits I've used before, to look like a different person
- posting on topic, polite, and friendly posts
The account lasted for about a day before it also got permanently suspended, this time for violating "Reddit Content Policy".
The automated note didn't specify which rule was violated.
I'm guessing that the automated systems on Reddit figured it out it was "me" somehow or VPN usage is just flagged as suspicious automatically.
I'm new to evading account suspensions.
I would appreciate any clues about what I may be missing
Hope to see your update soon!Update:
I've been using the free version of the the Dolphin antic browser. It doesn't seem to allow plugins. I've been using without my VPN service, a mobile proxy, or any proxy. Just my raw IP address. My new account hasn't been suspended yet. Past attempts have been suspened within two days. I will wait a week ( posting every day ) to pronounce this a success.
I read an article on browser fingerprinting. Interesting subject! That inspired some web searching. I found that Firefox has an advanced/experimental anti-fingerprinting option you have to go into about:config to turn on. It has the annoyance of the browser not remember its window dimensions and font size/resolution/magnification between reloads/reboots. I created a second new Reddit account. Second day in and it hasn't been suspended yet. Again, I am going to wait for a full week of daily participation before I pronounce it a success.

Reddit banned my 7-year-old account with 100K+ karma and 5K+ followers.
I didn't create a new account for 2-3 months. After that, I simply created a new account from the same browser after clearing the cache and cookies, and it worked just fine.
The new account has been growing without issues or bans, and it's been for months.
They also mentioned that I was "permanently" banned.
The reddit protection system can easily detect VPN usage. You need to use paid mobile or resident proxies.
You can also be easily identified by the fingerprint and characteristics of your computer.
I just delete cookies or use different chrome profile. Wait till my IP changes. No problem.
