Reddit Ban Evasion: What Works, What Gets You Caught

Let me be honest: I'm not advocating ban evasion. But I know people try it. Here's what actually happens when you do—and why prevention is a better path.

• Device fingerprinting: Same browser/device = flagged
• IP tracking: Same IP range = suspicious
• Behavior patterns: Same posting style, times, content
• Writing style analysis: Yes, they can detect this
• Link patterns: Same domains promoted

• All connected accounts get banned
• Your domain gets site-wide flagged
• Appeals become much harder
• Mods share ban info between subs
• You lose all karma and history

If you're starting over after a ban:

1. Accept the loss. Don't try to recover the old account.
2. Analyze what went wrong. Why were you banned?
3. Create a genuinely new account for legitimate purposes
4. Change your behavior, not just your username
5. Follow all best practices from day 1

This is serious. Options:

• Wait 3-6 months for automatic decay
• Use link shorteners (temporary fix)
• Get mentions from other users (not you posting)
• Focus on brand building so others share your links
• In extreme cases: new domain

I spent 3 months recovering from a domain ban. Could have spent those 3 months growing. Prevention is ALWAYS better than cure.
