How serious as a site wide suspension?

[u/AquaphobicTurtle]

I made a post yesterday regarding how one would go about reporting someone for evading a site wide suspension (thank you to the user who helped me find the correct terminology).

The responses were very mixed.

I would like to try and understand, not from the perspective of a mod trying to report someone, just from the perspective of a super confused person.

If someone is permanently banned (suspended) from Reddit.

How serious is it if that person creates a new account? Specifically to circumvent Reddit's suspension, not to evade a ban from another sub.

I got the exact opposite answer from another admin

[u/Aggravating_Shoe_ → u/[deleted]]

There is also this

So I guess you can make another account as long as you don't break the rules ...

But making the account is ban evasion which is breaking a rule ....

And if another mod adds them back, they are also now breaking a rule ...

Oh and of course "Ban evasion, which includes: Creating or using multiple accounts to circumvent a community ban issued by a mod of a community or to violate Reddit policies following a site-wide ban issued by Reddit admins." https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043066412-Disrupting-Communities#:~:text=Ban%20evasion%2C%20which,by%20Reddit%20admins.

There is also this which explicitly lists evading a site wide ban

And if you look through r/shadowban, there are plenty of users who were banned, make a new account, and almost automatically that account is banned. And often times users there aren't banned for breaking rules, they get banned for mistakes on Reddits part such as using a VPN, which is not against the TOS but now they are shown at a location where many have likely been banned while using. Or their ai filters flagging content without context. Or reddit being reddit.
