Reddit Ban Evasion

I thought it might be good to start a thread to share some tips on how to avoid being shadowbanned by Reddit since a lot of people seem to want to know. It's really pretty easy to avoid being banned if you aren't spamming. For example, if you are creative in your copywriting skills, you will probably have almost no problems with bans especially if you aren't using links. If you are spamming links, on the other hand, here's a few tips that I have picked up...

• First and foremost, going into this...realize that Reddit really has amazing spam detection and is active in combatting it. Be prepared to lose accounts often and fast unless you are very careful.
• Log in using different IPs, try to keep it to one IP per account. If you don't, you could be chain banned.
• Use different browsers (or incognito mode) to login to different accounts or find a way to keep your fingerprint from being imprinted on your other accounts or again, you could be chain banned.
• If you are buying accounts, there is a good chance that these accounts used to be owned by someone else and the person who sold them to you got them through cracking them. You should be very careful. In my opinion, if you have the time, you should use the two methods above to make your own accounts so you can control the quality.
• Spend a bit of time (think days, not minutes) on the accounts before spamming. Commenting and posting to make the account look as genuine as usual. One way that Reddit finds these accounts is through user reports. If you look like a bot that is spamming, Redditers won't hesitate to mass report you.
• With that being said, you can keep accounts for quite awhile if you look very natural. In general, Reddit is more about quality than quantity but you can do it either way. (Better to spam multiple subreddits over a longer time period than say, 30 subreddits each 10 seconds apart from each other)
• If your links get your account banned on one subreddit, you should not send those links to that subreddit again unless you are fully prepared to lose another account and you will probably lose it fast. This would be the time to domain switch.
• Higher karma, longer aged, verified accounts tend to get banned less often than new accounts...
• Many of the public scripts and bots that you see have been fingerprinted and you should know how to do things like changing the user agent in the bot/script... some users claim that selenium based bots are safer but I have found PRAW style bots to be sufficient as long as you can avoid being fingerprinted.

If anyone else has anything to add, please feel free to add to them. I hope this helps some of you. I have found most of this out through personal experience and from some helpful users on this forum.

I always sort of expect my Reddit accounts to get banned eventually lol. Or at least booted off certain subs - the moderators are just too hyperaware and love riding their high-horse. But you shared some nice little gems here man, some common sense, some lesser-known.

Will definitely take this into consideration for all of my Reddit ventures.

Yeah, this will happen a lot...even if you are careful, but there are definitely bots out there spamming links that have been spamming the same links for years multiple times a day without issue. So even spamming can be done right. I've never managed to make my bots last years but just know it is possible with some ingenuity.

If you aren't spamming links especially, it's very easy to not get banned from Reddit. Something else I didn't mention that I kind of debated on is that it can be a really good idea for spammers to start and grow their own subreddits so that they don't get mass banned from a lot of subreddits and trip off Reddit's security that way.

none of this works when reddit decides to treat you strictly.

i post my affiliate link daily with my main account without ban, but i just make quality posts, no spamming ones

How do I bypass Reddit bans?
Make the account you got banned on the second or third account you made, and separate their creation by days or even weeks. Avoid creating a new account shortly after the ban, as the Reddit admins will see you.
...
Use a VPN.

1. Pay for a VPN service and connect. ...
2. Use a different account name to avoid suspicion.

You are free to believe this. I've made thousands with these tactics, though.
