Yes, being permabanned on some Internet discussion forum is the single defining characteristic of a human being! Off to the Gulag with him and shame him whenever he speaks up! /s

You don't just get permabanned with extreme prejudice. The author is leaving out a huuuuge chunk of the story.

  Yeah... usually the 'worst' that could happen is their specific account being shaddow-banned. Being _permabanned_ suggests that they've done something particularly egregious. Either that, or their behavior is indistinguishable from a spam bot.

    It could also be something as innocuous as software piracy. Not sure about reddit specifically but a lot of websites will immediately nuke anybody who tries to link to pirated content because they're terrified of getting sued.

      Reddit has a fairly lively /r/piracy subreddit.

        Doesn't mean people don't get banned for it.

  While that is probable, as outsiders we can't tell if that user is the troll we could assume they are or if they just accidentally logged in to the wrong VPN or was given a cursed IP address by their ISP once.
