Title is pretty much it. Woke up this morning to an email in the inbox with a reddit message notification from u/reddit
Your account has been permanently suspended for breaking the rules.
The thing is not only have I not been on reddit since the protest (barring google searches while not signed in on a private browser, for specific questions unfortunately), but it’s a lurker account. I have one post from a year ago asking a question, then a few sporadic comments with the last being in April.
I suppose the breakup with Reddit is a mutual thing now lol. Just a very strange scenario.
Sadly, it wasn’t the later. I never mentioned spez and didn’t even know what the CEO’s name or username was until the blackouts (i.e. after i got permabanned).
VPN? They have this half-baked user “reliability” rating system that they claim “identifies known alts”.
Which is marketingspeak for “we log ips,” I think. If they did that as poorly as everything else, it’s possible they think you’re the last guy to use that vpn before you.
Also… sorry for grilling you. Just curious.
Never used VPN, had a couple of active throwaways and those were not caught either. Oddly the message is “all your accounts” as in plural but it was only the one account.
Thanks again.
Guess we’re back to Hanlon. Probably a buggy, hastily written script by a jr dev, or worse… they’re doing this manually based on a spreadsheet tracker.
