I have been informed by your charming and informative page that my IP address, 208.67.[redacted] has been banned. I live in an apartment complex with a complex provided network for internet. It is due to these unfortunate circumstances that I share an IP address with an individual which has behaved in a way deemed worthy of IP ban.
Please consider unbanning this IP address as it is shared by a minimum of 192 tenants.
Yeah, banning by IP from such a big website is pretty silly on the site admin's part. Tons and tons of places share 1 to a small handful of IPs (e.g. apartment complexes, school dorms, etc).
Not only that, but they use device bans as well, so even if you switch to an unbanned IP they can still detect if you're on the same device you were first banned on, and ban you again for ban evasion.
This one time I got banned from world news for disagreeing with one of the more conservative posts there, and I wasn't even impolite about it. Months later I accidentally commented on world news again using an alt account, as I had forgotten about the ban. So then I got permanently banned from reddit itself, and every time I tried to make a new account it got banned for ban evasion. I was only able to make a new account and keep it for more than 24 hours when some time later I changed my IP and bought a new phone.
