How do you get around suspension ban? If I deactivate "banned" profile, does it help?

Here's what reddit tolerates in mods. It's up to 53 pages now, filled with criminal history, child and wife abuse, pretending to be a girl, and amazing levels of psychopathic behaviors. Maybe your old account is in its "database of 30,000 Nazi reddit accounts", based on ever commenting in a "hate" sub.

Do I need to delete cookies/clear cache every time I use my account?

You shouldn't need to, once you have a clean new account. Just don't taint it by interacting with your old account. Maybe you can first log into your old account and delete it?

Even when I deleted the comments themselves, they linked back to it.

Delete your old accounts. Maybe use that script that auto-deletes all your comments first.

After changing your IP address (or using a VPN) and deleting all reddit cookies, try making a new account.

If that doesn't work, you may need to change your MAC address, or buy a new device.

To protect your new account, don't have similar interactions as your old account, and don't make the same comments in the same places as your old account did.

Good luck!

What script are you referring to?

If I started a proflie on another computer - e.g. a work computer/their VPN-and then use on personal computer, would that trigger anything?

Part of what I'm trying to do is have dummies lying around to age, even if they're dormant

I'm not an expert on ban evasion (lol), but what you want to avoid is any connection to your old accounts that would alert them. The VPN should solve the IP address problem, although some sites block VPN account creation. Try it and see what happens. The personal computer should be okay if it has no reddit cookies on it, and reddit hasn't identified its MAC address as belonging to you.

The worst case is that you'd just lose those accounts and have to be more diligent in shedding past connections next time.

Back when I used reddit, I had around 8 or so spares as a backup, and for specific contexts. They were probably all linked to my 'permanently suspended' account and banned too.
