I have had multiple accounts through 15 years on reddit but reddit has become hardcore ban happy and I’ve stopped even trying to get around it at this point and have stopped using the site completely.

So what was the dumbest reason you were banned?

Mine was going into a far right sub that was discussing lord of the rings, for some reason lotr is huge with the far right including the current vp. Anyway all I did was post lotr sucks and a video link to clerks 2 where Randall tells Elias and the customer that the movie is nothing but walking and that the true ending should be frodo bricking into Sam’s mouth.

I got reported and site wide permabanned from a far right sub for gay bashing when the intent was anything but that. That’s when I noticed the glory days of reddit were starting to fade.

    I got banned for the telling a teenage OP in /r/sex that her yeast infection was probably caused by her boyfriend’s dirty fingers. I told her to emphasize cleanliness and hygiene ahead of future encounters. She said she couldn’t ask her parents for sexual advice and also couldn’t consult a doctor, so I tried to give her immediately useful advice

    I was banned for “encouraging sex acts with a minor” but not before a bunch of people called me rude names for “imagining her sexual encounter with her boyfriend”
