Hi, when I was a reddit faker (I haven’t relapsed, I’ve stayed out of reddit and never posted another fake story, im cured) I wondered if someone the mods would figure out the tens of accounts that came from my computer and noticed I was the writer of many fake stories.

It seems like that never happened, but come on, the only thing I used at the time was Firefox Containers to be able to sign up with a different account. Not even a VPN or any of that.

    If you were banned from a community and re-join with a new account, the new one will be flagged for ban-evasion and it’s up to the mods to allow the posts or not. Admins can definitely see your IP and can ban you site-wide, but subreddit moderators cannot.

    There is way better way than IP to identify/track an user.

    To my understanding,mods can’t see IP or any personal info, but admin can and data broker get a nice package oh data from your reddit

    Pretty much any server nowadays logs IPs, so they probably know who you are. It’s unlikely they’re going to do anything about it though.
