What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Interesting you mention this. I guess it's more common than I realized.

The literal reason I looked around and came here a few days ago is because of exactly this.

Someone posted a picture of a blue hat that said "Is he dead yet" with the caption that is crazy the whole planet knows who is referring to.

I commented that the planet will be a better place when it happens.

Instant ban for a week.

The bot banning me stated "Threats and violence" as the rule.

So ya...I'm not going back to that.

I had my 7+ year old account for saying the word Guillotine which I think is on auto ban. I’ve opened new accounts that get banned for ban evasion or for yet another “wrong word” I used in some sub or another

How does Reddit know? I mean I try with a new email via a secure browser using a vpn and somehow they ban that account immediately after I post something....do they just ban accounts that appear to be using a vpn from their pov?
