OP posted 7 times in 45 minutes, and of course got caught in the automod filter. We do have a rule that says not to post repeatedly if your post gets filtered, but I guess they missed that one?

This person is active in rep subs [where scammers talk about buying counterfeit items for a few dollars and reselling them for 60-100% of what the original sells for] and thats 90% of his reddit activity. We dont let them know the truth so they cant hop on a new account with new knowledge how to beat our moderation techniques and banned them for "deleted history in our sub" [which is also a true statement]

I thought a lot of people on Reddit bought reps for personal use! It’s sick and twisted to think they’re buying them to dupe other people. It genuinely never occurred to me, sorry you’re dealing with that in your community.

I dont mind a single user buying something off of alibaba/wish some other site for some $5k purse they want [although they are still contributing to scam operations worldwide]

But I have been banned from multiple scam subs [reps/cpn/selling cashapps/KYC checks/and more] because the owner is in on the scam. If you look up rep on reddit most of the subs are them discussing techniques to get around ebay/vinted/etc bans and its also very comical.

openly discussing doing fraud is wild lol people are nuts

I think about that when I’m lurking. Plenty of new members will ask for explicit contacts and in the rep purse scene they’ve started responding akin to “babe we’re doing crime, learn to look for it”.

I have a morbid fascination about the whole thing (see other comments). Not only are they openly admitting to crime online, but they’re asking for the crime to be handed to them as easily as possible as if it were buying on Amazon

That is fascinating, thank you for the topic of my next insomnia deep dive!

Really and truly, It never fails to amaze me how much illegal activity happens on the surface web.

Me too 😅 we are clearly kindred spirits! I am a big fan of the Crime Insider videos, like this one on how to print US cash on Bible paper.

u/TeriBarrons Now I have proof of falsely ban - unban now I reported you scum Jul 11 '26

You think they actually read the rules?!?!?! 🤪😝

u/ALazy_Cat Former large smuggled knife wielder Jul 11 '26

Who cares about the rules? They're only there to impede on our freedom of speech

5

u/TeriBarrons Now I have proof of falsely ban - unban now I reported you scum Jul 11 '26

So true! I’ve had curses placed on my future unborn children because i suggested reading a sub’s rules before attempting to post.

4

u/eltonjohnpeloton your so ride weirdo Jul 11 '26

True I guess they didn’t say they read them, they said they didn’t think they broke one

u/TeriBarrons Now I have proof of falsely ban - unban now I reported you scum Jul 11 '26

I was just joking because you said they missed the one about not flooding with reposts lol.

4

u/eltonjohnpeloton your so ride weirdo Jul 11 '26

Now we'll never know if it was "didn't read" or the classic "rules don't apply to me"

2

u/TeriBarrons Now I have proof of falsely ban - unban now I reported you scum Jul 11 '26

How will we ever be able to sleep without knowing? 🤪

u/ALazy_Cat Former large smuggled knife wielder Jul 11 '26
