Account Bans on Reddit
5 hours ago
- User's first attempt: posting a GitHub project link immediately resulted in post deletion and account ban.
- Second attempt: registering from a different IP and posting three comments immediately led to another ban.
- Third attempt: waiting a few days and posting 1-2 comments per day worked temporarily, but a well-formatted post was flagged as AI-generated and the account was banned.
- Fourth attempt: adding intentional mistakes and writing in first person allowed short posts to survive, but posting a link again caused a ban.
- Fifth attempt: creating a new community and posting a link there resulted in the community being deleted and the account banned.
- After advice to earn 1k karma and use the mobile app, user reached 1k karma, but a post with a link was sent for manual review and the account was banned hours later.
- Conclusion: Reddit's anti-spam measures effectively prevent new users from sharing projects, even when following recommended practices.
