This is how you get banned and don't understand why

You might have good proxies, you might have a good anti-detect browser, but you still get banned. Orrr, you did absolutely nothing wrong ever, but you get banned regardless. Why?

Well, Reddit is really like a mafia of incels. Nothing better to do with their lives, so they put an incredible amount of effort into policing the place. And they're completely obsessed about it.

You post on a subreddit. If somebody doesn't like what you wrote, or suspects you for whatever reason, and then reports you to the moderators, and if the moderators are friends with some administrators, the administrator will look into your account, and even if have a good proxy, bla, bla, bla, if your messages look even a little bit spammy, they will ban you.

Another cancer of Reddit is BotDefense. Technically BotDefense wasn't created by Reddit itself, but they ask administrators to investigate you. They know for a fact whether or not your account has any sort of automation going on. So, let's say you get your API key just to test some stupid API feature. And lets say you aren't even breaking the rules. If you post to a subreddit that has BotDefense as the moderator and someone reports you to it, for whatever reason, the bot will check whether or not you have requested an API key and ban you from every subreddit it moderates. The problem is: BotDefense moderates a loooooooooooot of subreddits.

It's quite sad.
 
True. Social nets has relied since a long time on reports from users. But since on Reddit there are plenty of unbalanced people (to say the kindest word), this user reporting feature goes to extremes.

On the other side, defensive mechanisms are needed otherwise sites would be full of spam.
 
So If BotDefense detects any suspicious activity, it will automatically ban the account in question. Dem reddit is just so complicated.
 
Reddit has some of the hardest bot detection I've faced.

Good luck to everyone lol
 
You can still game Reddit even without proxies. I've been using my home IP for the past 3 years and I'm able to post 200+ posts at once without hitting a single limit :)
Granted, you do need decent-ish proxies for upvotes, but that's a different story.
I've used 100s of Reddit accounts from the same IP address and they never hit any posting limits (other than 75 posts in 45mins for the first time I post).
 
yeah, reddit is hard to understand. It's like i created subreddit then invite new user to be moderator and he accept request. So, after this action account who accepted request will get shadowban. LOL i tested not with 1 account. And a lot of different things. Its like fb , you have to know what you do in the moment.
 
Reddit is difficult to understand, I agree. It's as if I formed a subreddit, invited a new member to be a moderator, and he accepted the invitation. In light of this, any account that granted the request will now be shadowbanned.
 
I think that the best way to automate social media is to get away from there APIs
 
Take it none of you have heard of behavioural analysis...

You spend so much time worrying about browser analysis yet what you do on Reddit screams automation.
 
You're a bit off though, incels are mostly far right while reddit is 99% liberal woke radicals (anti white, anti hetero, anti male).
