    Title basically. I know a lot of you guys use reddit, so I figured this would be a good place to ask. I think I have two different accounts right now, and one is banned from a few subreddits, The other one is on the verge.
    To be honest, I got banned for making a stupid joke, And then they banned my other account for "ban evasion". I still don't know how they figured out it was me, but that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid if I make a new account.

    I hear they can track the IMEI of a cell phone, so they'll know if I log in to a new account.
    I think they also attract IP addresses?

    I'm just trying to find out the most idiot proof way to make a new account and not have it get banned.

    I tried once before a few months ago And when I log back in on the phone, it still had all the info of the previous account so I'm sure that's how they knew it was me.

    It's likely a hardware ban, they see your phone unique hardware numbers and match it to the browser.

    I don't think a VPN will work here, you need a new device on top of ensuring you have a different IP.

    I use reddit for browsing and I honestly think I'd better off if I got perma banned lol.

    Yeah, that's what I think. That's the IMEI number?
    Honestly, I'm not even up to anything nefarious.. I got banned for a stupid joke and now they're punishing me for trying to get around the system. So maybe that part's a little shady..

    Oh I get it, I got banned for a mild comment in one of the subs. I enjoy a few subs, and like to see the chaos in the feeds, but it certainly has power tripping mods and thin skinned users.

    Exactly. I got permabanned for literally sending them a message asking why I was banned...

    I do have an extra phone I can use to make an account, But I feel like since I've used Reddit from that phone before they'll know about that too.

    Reddit is an echo chamber of ignorants uniting under a common club.

    At least on Tacoma world, the rules are clear and the bans are consistent.

    Here, that’d get you an extension of a non perma ban or maybe even a perma depending on the douche level of the post.
