how does it work when you get a ban? I got a message saying my account got banned. but it didn't say I'm not allowed to create a new one.

Well, basically all my accounts are banned forever and If I try to create any new ones, these will be automatically permabanned as soon as I try making any posts because i'm IP tracked.

You are allowed to create a new account even despise being banned, but it's pointless since you will be unable to even use them.

Well....unless you know some tricks....

Reddit doesn't just track IPs. That's a silly way to do things, as most residential customers regularly have different IP addresses. They also do cookie checks and browser fingerprinting. You'll want to AT LEAST use a completely fresh browser.

If you really think it's just an IP ban go pull free wifi from a Starbucks, a hipster coffee shop, or a college or something. I find the idea of getting such places IP banned to be kinda funny.

I have long suspected that when you access reddit, they know exactly who you are and they know your precise GPS coordinates and they know your phone number and they know your name they know your driver's license number they know everything.
