Mods don't have any more ability to do it than any other user. They literally just have to use the "report user" function, same as anyone else on reddit. There's no secret special back door access to the admins that mods get. This is literally one of the things that mods complain about - they don't have any way to deal with ban avoidance and alt accounts except to hit "report" and cross their fingers.
See my message above. It happened to me. This large sub's mods tracked my alt accounts and got the admins to perma ban me on all my alt accounts. I had 3 different accounts for 3 different sets of interests. I don't know how they did it but they did.
Bullshit. Mods ban from subreddits, and report circumvention to admins. Regular users don’t have any way of knowing if your using an alt. The point is-
That shit can’t happen here.
Mods don't have any extra way to report users to admins that all users don't have access to. It's literally just the "report user" button.
Mods certainly don't have any way to detect alts beyond just knowing their community and manually spotting posts with a similar style to known troll accounts.
Seriously dude, you can see exactly what tools mods have access to just by creating your own sub and just fucking looking for yourself. The mod tools are shit, they get virtually nothing, certainly nothing like you seem to imagine they have. The fact that the mod tools are shit and have been shit since forever and that the admins have made promises to sort them out but never done anything about it are some of the major contributing factors in the protest and the move here. The API change were really just the last straw.
You're obviously butthurt over getting banned but based on your attitude here you probably deserved it.
I’m telling you- I had an entire account banned for posting in a sub after an different account was banned from that sub. This is NOT something any normal user would be able to do, so….
You’re clearly full of shit and come off like a butrhurt Reddit mod defending the chest puffing.

I don't doubt for a minute that you managed to earn a sitewide ban - you certainly seem like the sort.
All I'm saying is that mods don't have any way to give a sitewide ban and (beside educated guesswork), they don't have any way to detect alt accounts either. They don't have any backdoor access to the admins beyond the "report user" button that every person on reddit has access to. These aren't even things that are in any way in question, because a) literally anyone can create a new subreddit and see exactly what tools mods get and b) exactly these issues were infamously central to all the recent protests.
You're the one whining about your sitewide ban my friend. The only person showing signs of any butthurt in this thread is you.
You’re the one not understanding what’s being explained to you. So again, you’re clearly either a complete dumbass, or you’re a Reddit apologist here to stir pots.
We’re done here as I’m not about wasting my time with trolls.
I'm 100% understanding what you're saying. I'm telling you:
1: YOU ARE WRONG
2: IT'S EASY TO PROVE
You're welcome to go create a subreddit and see for yourself exactly what tools mods get. They don't have the shit you think they do.
