About a year ago I created my one and only reddit account. Never had one before. I work at a place that is semi virtual. We are required to come into the office 2 days a week. No one has their own dedicated PC. You just pick whatever is available and sign in. Obviously everyone is using the same internet access.

When at the office and I need a break I would visit a few groups of interest on Reddit. Groups that have ZERO to do with politics or anything controversial. I have never made a post or comment about anything political or controversial. I’m in groups like NFL and Dogs.

A week ago I get a message that my account is suspended for 7 days because of a violation of a “linked” account. I have NO linked account. I only use reddit while at work and no where else. I didn’t appeal when I saw the message, I just said whatever. But yesterday I log in and now I am permanently banned.

Anyone have an explanation of what is going on and how to actually get unbanned.

    I use Chrome. I know how to delete all the reddit cookies in Chrome. If I do would I be able to register a new account?

      Use Firefox and set it to send do not track request. Then you should theoretically be fine unless they have another way to keep track now. (Unlikely)
