Ban evasion guide for newcels

Since we have a lot of newcels, I thought I'd share a simple guide on how to evade Reddit suspensions. These steps only apply to desktop. If I am missing anything or if any of my information is wrong, please let me know.

0. Don't sign up with the same email

I call this step 0 because it is so obvious that I shouldn't even have to say it. You don't even need to give Reddit an email to sign up, so don't. Just click "Next" when it asks for an email to skip that step.

1. Switch IPs if not using a VPN

If you use a VPN, you don't have to worry about switching IPs because Reddit is probably aware that you are using a VPN. If they banned your IP, they would ban a lot of other people too, which they want to avoid as long as VPNs are allowed on Reddit.

If you are using your home IP, you will have get a new one. You can check reddit.com/account-activity to see a log of all IPs you used on that account. Reddit logs the IP you signed up with forever, but all other IPs are cleared from the logs after 100 days. To see your current IP, just search "what is my ip" in your browser, and you will find plenty of sites that will tell you what it is. Sometimes turning your router off and on again changes your IP. If that doesn't work, you could try using a mobile hotspot instead since those IPs are a lot easier to change. If you don't want to use a mobile hotspot for whatever reason, then you should get a VPN. Proton VPN is pretty good since they probably don't have logs and there is a free version, which is slow, but works. Do not use Tor to create a new Reddit account. If you do, your password will be reset once you log out, locking you out of your account. On top of that, you have to go through a ton of CAPTHAS whenever you post from Tor, making posting a chore.

2. Clear cookies

Make sure to clear all cookies from Reddit and to disable third-party cookies in your browser settings if they aren't disabled already. If you are only using your ban evasion account in a private/incognito window, then this step obviously isn't necessary.

3. Avoid fingerprinting

The previous steps might be good enough, but sometimes Reddit will ban you based on your fingerprint, so you may want to protect yourself against that to be extra safe.

Sites can get a ton of information about your browser from JavaScript. Go to amiunique.org to see what they can collect from your browser. Disabling JavaScript doesn't work because it is needed to complete a CAPTCHA when creating an account. I would suggest using a browser that has built-in protection from fingerprinting like Brave or Firefox. If you use Brave, click on the shield to set the level of fingerprint protection you want for the site you are currently on. I would suggest putting it on strict for Reddit since it doesn't seem to break the site at all, but maybe standard is good enough too. In Firefox, enter "about:config" in the address bar, then type "resistFingerprinting," and set the setting to true. This setting affects all sites you visit, but you can tweak the permissions for a specific site by pressing Ctrl+I if the site is broken.

Also, it looks like @Ghost accidentally unfollowed me, so I am pinging him to make sure he doesn't miss this fantastic post. I look out for my followers! :marseythumbsup:

Another obvious one is to not use the official app. There are like million reasons for it, generally it being shit, but also because it assigns an ID to your device so if you log in even from new IP, cleared cache and all data through the app itll relate it to previous accounts

This is very good advice, thank you.

Reddit logs the IP you signed up with forever, but all other IPs are cleared from the logs after 100 days.

I believe it's 120 days from their privacy policy, but this may be dated and I cbf to read dumb legal shit.

You still don't need an email at all to sign up with Reddit. You can just click next and leave it blank. But I think it may affect your spam score.

I've used emailondeck with mixed success; I'm often locked out of my account.

There are a couple of levels that your IP could be "tainted." Depending on how much of a pain in the butt you are. In the worst case you will be banned almost immediately upon signing up. This can only happen on a home IP (or what Reddit recognizes as a home IP), but not cell service / something like Nord VPN. I've also been insta-banned for ban-evading on a sub on the same IP, but this doesn't always happen. I don't know what triggers this.

Using a public IP like cell service or a vpn service actually seems to grant you many more freedoms than using your home IP (and you shouldn't really be using your home IP for something like Reddit anyway).

But I think it may affect your spam score.

Could you elaborate on this? Does this affect how often you can post?

Jump in the discussion.

There are a number of factors and behaviors that affect your "spam score" which may result in your comments being auto-hidden, or in extreme cases, your account being shadowbanned. Not having an email associated is one factor of many that will adversely affect your comments visibility.

The biggest factor, by far, is the sub's spam filter settings. There's 3 settings and if set to the most aggressive, many non-spam comments get caught up in it.

Some behaviors known to mark you as a spammer: short comments, comments largely similar or the same in content, rapidly posting comments, new account, if you've ever posted with a URL shortener. Stuff like that. Reddit really hates it if you try to use a URL shortener.

As for the post throttling, I always thought that this was based on your karma on that sub. But I was trolling /r/ottawa on a lightly-used, 1 month old account, hit -100 quickly and was never throttled the entire time. I don't know if something has changed or what the explanation is. I've never posted in ottawa before that and I think it's safe to say that I wasn't an approved poster because my content was shitposting to the max. So I think some of their algorithms may have changed recently.

I will make note of a few things that I have noticed:

  • Unless you clear your browsing history and cache every time, you can only be signed into one account to avoid being tracked across accounts.
  • If using an iPhone, you have to delete and re-install the app you are using for Reddit before switching to a new account. iOS randomizes your device ID each time you re-install an app (someone needs to confirm for Android)
  • Using a VPN or new IP address when making new accounts at a minimum.
  • Use can use emailondeck.com for temporary emails.

Reddit accepts fake emails if you don't mind the nag to verify the email. Just give a fake email address you make up on the spot.
