It was on Reddit, was not it? I got banned from a sub just because of having opinion that contradicted OP, when I asked which rule did I broke, My account was suspended on whole Reddit... I have been member since Digg exodus and never had any problem till that day. Unfortunately Reddit is ruled by moronic mods who can perma-ban your account, and admins can't be bothered. If your opinion is not in line, your IP is going to get blacklisted, so either you are extremely left wing, or you are out. and it is sad, because I really liked the forums, discussions and occasional memes here and there, now they are just pushing ideas that can't be discussed, which is propaganda.

It was Discord but the behavior matches the one you've described about Reddit. Unfortunately, it's not used for in-depth technical discussions relevant to my sphere and you can't use WayBackMachine on Discord to preserve knowledge which is unfortunate. It's funny that while discussing the incident, some other people would get agitated when you mention that unjust bans are by all means should be evaded. Never understood people who ready to jump on anyone disobeying the law in letter but could never care less about actually following it in spirit.

  Many providers assign IP addresses statically. In my country, many ISPs give you public static IP by default.

      I haven't used reddit in a while, but it wasn't uncommon to make a throwaway for some additional level of psueo-anonimty, authoring a post, submitting and then instantly getting a message saying you don't have enough karma. Iirc it's more common in large subreddits, or really anything that has a decent amount of traffic and a somewhat organized moderation approach.

  It's not that easy. My ISP assigns static IP. As for not participating in subreddits - you can't really know which subs will popup on your frontpage, one might argue that you only use subs you are subbed to, but that destroys the point of forums as a principle. Where not forums designed to facilitate discussion rather than echo-chambers of propaganda? It get's weirder than that, one of the top subs actually asks for your...
