If all you're doing is trolling, it's easy to make a new account. Fake email and you're in.

Source: Like a dozen 'permanent suspensions' total, recently, including linked accounts that 5 got whacked in a single day

But is it that simple? Won't they detect and ban any new accounts you create?

I wouldn't know. My last account said something negative about trains and got a 'permanent suspension' without warning. But it was there. The previous was up for I think a week. We'll see how long this one lasts.

In related news, I bet their new user account numbers have been skyrocketing since the 'permanent suspension' banwave started like a month ago!

This is unusual. Did you create the new account with a different device? And have you used it to make comments?

Same PC, same browser, didnt even clear the cache.

I think they do "sweeps" through the userbase. I've read this before, that people get back on for a few days only to be banned again. They've got your device(s) fingerprinted.

haha if you catch a ban because you got fingerprinted you're either a mobilecel and deserve it or you have zero opsec capacity and deserve it also

No need to be a dick. I'm a grown up with a job and a family and a limited amount of time to devote to this shit.
