OK. Why I thought that was while engaged with some people in a bit of a tussle, I used my back-up account for that exact purpose. LOL. Shame on me I know, but if I'm being honest about it. I then started to notice weird activity on the site. I was using two different browsers. I couldn't see my comments all of a sudden etc, but when I restarted my computer, I saw 3 quick command prompt windows, usually the sign of software initiating? I then read somewhere that they could install something on your computer, but if you say its just reading ip adresses that makes sense. Thank you.

Very unlikely to be Reddit related. Definitely worth scanning for viruses/malware, though.

Reddit will just be using your IP address and probably browser fingerprinting to detect ban evaders. Be aware that the reddit experience on a fresh account is utterly shite these days, in many subs you'll be effectively shadowbanned (comments won't show up unless manually allowed by a mod) for just having a new account/low karma. But you can't get upvotes if nobody can see your comments...
