I got banned once because I used to make a new account every few months and accidently commented in a subreddit I've been blocked before. This means reddit tracks your different accounts by email or ip address. I bet the place is evil internally.
I mean that sort of thing is pretty much standard operating procedure for any forum. Whenever you ban anyone the first thing they'll do is make a new account. Keeping out the spammers and whatnot is hard enough without return customers.
Someone kept doing that to my subreddit, and did not get banned. I think he might still be at it, but I'm not sure.
Thats pretty normal, though. Even Discord does that. Its for ban evasion. Some unsavory people will go to lengths to keep coming back to place to keep harassing people even after being banned.
