Okay I've been cleansed from Reddit for as long as I can, now I have urges to go back, I need them, please do tell, how to evade the reddit ban? Or establish a new Reddit account without them knowing IP-wise/etc that I am a formerly banned member?

It's pretty easy, you just need to make a new account that's not associated with identifying information from your banned account. Use a different browser, preferably one that's focused on privacy like DuckDuckGo or Brave's browser to avoid something called fingerprinting, and don't use the same IP address. Rebooting your phone/ router or using a different wifi network usually works. Obviously don't use the same email either.

Now when you start posting, if this didn't work, you'll be shadowbanned. It will look like you can use reddit, but nobody will see what you write. You can plug your name into Reveddit.com to check after you've commented or posted. If you're shadowbanned you'll see this message: [user_name] may be shadowbanned or may not exist. Verify the url and reload this page to double check. You can also check account status at /u/[user_name] or /r/ShadowBan.

Thank you for the succinct explanation. Okay yes I've been through all those things before, I just wasn't sure if they had really REALLY banned me this time for good like they would recognize my phone and IP& everything but if I follow every detail that you outlined it should work. And I'm familiar with what Shadowbanning etc looks like too. You put it all into words very well. Thank you again.
