This has been one long annoying situation reddit put me in.

Basically, I belonged to random acts of cards (since 2017) one day I was messaging people asking for their mailing info and I guess I messaged too many people in a short period of time. I got temp banned for 3 days. Then it happened again even though I tried to be careful. Got perma banned. So I made a new username because damned if reddit is going to stop me from engaging in one of my favorite hobbies. Had that username for about 5 months and something signaled to reddit that it was me, circumventing my [very stupid] ban in the first place.

Now every time I tried to make a new username (tried deleting cookies/cache, using a VPN, etc.) it gets banned within a few hours. It’s been EXTREMELY frustrating and unfair. It’s not like I was engaging in malicious behavior!!!

So I finally said fuck reddit admins. They have ignored all of my appeals so I’m here.

Idk, maybe in the future. Its so complicated running a sub.

Thank you, though! I am using the mobile app and I like how this was just like Apollo!
