Literally another attempt to appear legit by putting in place an easily circumventable rule.

So first they don't even check if mods are using alt accounts to moderate other subs but even if they do force it, it's so easy to click a button on your VPN and you are free to be anyone you want according to "Reddit Corps Super Advanced Security System."

Well reddit has a vpn detection system, they have been automatically banning vpn user since last year, so its very risky to even use it, its very easy to detect it from reddit. thats why some power users have hundreds of accounts/thousands using more expensive methods. and i heard they are even detecting some of those now.

Reddit can ban users across vpn with their automated system. Its even easier if they have tasked someone to look into doing it. I doubt people are taking enough steps to prevent the browser fingerprinting that gives them a unique signature.

reddit sniffs out vpn too easily now. the people that earning income with thier hundreds of accounts are paying for devices, a way to shield your browser from reddits fingerprinting, ,,,etc detection. plus using mobile proxies.

Well they haven't figured out how to ban on my VPN 😂

as soon you turn it off it will probably ban you immediately, they are getting better at detecting more obscure methods to hide your IP adress.
