Reddit will start requiring people to be logged into Reddit to use old.reddit.com.
The new requirement will take effect “over the next month,” a Reddit employee going by the username boat-botany announced on the social media platform today. The person claimed that the change is part of an ongoing effort to “tighten how automated systems access Reddit.”
The Reddit employee wrote:
Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and Redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month we will start requiring everyone to log in.
Can’t you only appeal once?
no you can appeal once per day, indefinitely. the thing is they used to give feedback or reason of ban, but now because of the amount of appeals they are getting by AI banning, they rarely lift a ban. only admins have the power to unban people, since admins are actual reddit employees, there is likely very few of them compared to how many appeals they have to go through. i think they even use AI to ignore most of the appeals, and randomly choose which ones they will lift a ban.
of course, since they have been shadowbanning like crazy, they tend to ignore people with multiple accounts, because somehow thier system thinks your accounts are botting.
