Shadowbans, really frustrated.

Try warming the account with random upvotes and comments before dropping posts. I've had better luck posting on dead subs first, then slowly jumping into bigger ones.

Definitely don't use your own domains if you're registering at any kind of scale.

You can use throwaways like https://xitroo.com/ for bulk, switching to real emails in the future if you wish/after account is aged.

We have not had any issues using them since January.

So i just did a test and used gmail, and still got shadowbanned as soon as i posted in /r/WhatIsMyCQS.

You should not be posting on a brand new account, period.
First few days should be nothing but scrolling, joining a few subreddits and upvoting a few coments of others.

From a technical aspect; trying switch to AdsPower (5 free profiles) and check your connection with pixelscan.net and see if the problem persists.

But this won't work unless you warm up accounts. No posts for 3-4 days min, no comments for 2 days (and even then start with replying to existing comments, not posting your own). That's a decent rule of thumb.

Sounds like you're trying to dive in from day 1. Never gunna work.

Okay, so I made a bunch of accounts using mobile proxies (as in, purchased my own sim cards and setup my own system). Some important notes:
- New unique IP per account creation.
- I'm using a modified Firefox that correctly throws off fingerprinting
- webrtc doesn't leak my real ip, etc
- creepJS gives me a pretty good score
- Recaptcha testing gives a great score
- I'm using about 15 different email domains across my accounts.

For each account, I created it, browsed for a minute or two, then closed the browser. Now, fast forward a few weeks, the vast majority of the accounts got automatically shadowbanned. The other still working accounts are mostly getting shadowbanned as soon as I post (I've only tested posted comments on AskReddit and showerthoughts).

The weird thing is, a small number of accounts don't get banned when posting, even though they use the same email domains as all of the banned accounts, and were all created using the same exact process.

There seems to be absolutely no consistency to why accounts get banned. Any advice? Surely a Reddit master here has figured this out, but every thread, people say it's your proxy - but in my case, definitely not that.

1) Could it be that i'm posting in Askreddit or showerthoughts? I wondered if maybe they mark 'spam' more easily, and maybe since its these account's first posts, that triggers a shadowban?
2) Is using my own email domains the issue? If so, why are some of the accounts not getting banned even though they were created exactly the same way?

Really? Man, when did Reddit get so intense. I'll give it shot, i guess my concern is that my accounts are actually being flagged from the get-go.
Just as a test, do you have any subreddits that I could test commenting on comments, which definitely have *no* spam filters?
