    I’ve been IP banned too. I’ve moved houses and changed ISP’s since and have a static ip with new ISP. If I tried signing up again using a new email account, you reckon it’d work?

    I haven’t changed service providers on my mobile phone though.

    I’m not a reddit fan or hater, there’s just niche communities I like being apart of on reddit that I can’t communicate with anymore.

      Same man, same…

      Here are some more facts about reddit IP bans:

      • They also take your device ID/“fingerprint” on the devices you log into banned account with
      • This can be reset by factory resetting a device apparently, but:
      • supposedly, because of data protection, they get rid of this ID anyway, as well as your saved IP address, after a fixed period. Maybe 30 days or 3 months? So if you didnt use reddit in all that time you’d be good to go with a new email address

      You should also avoid quickly joining all your favourite subreddits, because it flags accounts for that. Basically move like a tortoise when you rejoin, and then after a while you can use reddit normally.
