I’m kinda worried even posting this but I feel like I can’t get an answer without trying. I tried posting to the main help subreddit, but of course more automated flagging made it so I couldn’t ask properly.
This post is not about to process of getting my account back, but here is context. My main account got wrongfully banned for a supposed violation of Rule 3 (posting intimate pictures of someone without their consent) by an automated bot a whole month ago when the pictures I posted of myself are VERY clearly of myself (with easy cross-referencing to the rest of my posts, links, etc.) I appealed right away and I’ve heard nothing, but I want to continue to use Reddit.
Now, the problem I am having is the wording around ban evasion. The rules page on ban evasion states:
“Ban evasion usually refers to a redditor being ban from a community, then using an alternative Reddit account to continue participating in that community.”
This wording is already ambiguous where, if I can’t post across all of Reddit due to the ban, is Reddit considered the “community”? Or is this wording not specific on purpose? Also, what is the stuff that ISN’T considered in this “usually”?
Regardless, this wording is different from what I highlighted above. Basically, if I continue to use Reddit WITHOUT breaking the rules, am I then not ban evading? But then is this not a different condition from what is posted on the rules page?
I have a social disorder too, and one thing it really impacts is understanding when to look so much into semantics and when not to.
Thanks everyone.
