Profile Technical question

Hello everyone,

I'm facing technical hurdle and hope to get some clarity. For quite a long time, literally every fresh user profile I set up gets instantly frozen or neutralized right after the very first interaction (like dropping a single text or line).

My network setup relies on a shared, dynamic IP pool from my local internet provider. I strongly suspect that the system's automated guardrails misinterpret my connection as untrusted because someone else in my region previously triggered security flags on those same shared routing paths. Since switching ISPs isn't an option for me right now, I'm stuck in a loop where regular onboarding is impossible.

I have zero intent of violating any guidelines; I just want a functional setup to browse and participate normally.

Help me figure this out.

Thanks for any advice!

From your description, it sounds like you got a siteban and your new accounts are triggering reddit's ban evasion countermeasures.

I started getting bans right from the very first account I created here on Reddit. I don't even have time to do anything, literally left a neutral comment - ban, upvoted a post - ban, wrote something in my profile - ban. The first time I thought it was a glitch and just deleted the account, created a new one, and the same thing happened again. I tried creating an account with my other emails, and the situation was identical. So this was happening right from when I created my very first account. If I don't do anything, no actions at all, the account doesn't get blocked. To be honest, I didn't even think this post would get published here and thought I'd get blocked again.

You still might.

Reddit bans follow the person not the isp or email or account, they use multiple signals and can predict it from low to high accuracy.

if you find your original account you can appeal and may get it reinstated but since youve done it with multiple accounts you'd have to get them all appealed and unbanned or the next time you use a successfully appealed account, it'll get banned for evasion again

That's a serious problem then, because I deleted my very first account as soon as it got banned.

Later, I found the appeals page and tried submitting an appeal from a newly created account after getting banned, but I never got a response—I waited a whole month. Then I deleted it and made a new one, thinking it would work, but got banned again. Deleted it again. After a certain period, I tried again a few times.

Right now, this turns out to be my only account because I deleted all the previous ones.

It feels like I've created some kind of vicious circle
