Can you do that for a banned account?

[–] audit69@programming.dev 5 points 10 hours ago

yeah just wait 10 years

If you wait long enough they'll unban your account. I lost my 10 year old account a few months before the API debacle over referencing piracy in /r/movies and then inadvertently commenting there on an alt account, and just discovered that it was completely restored a few months ago.

Good to know, since I was shadow-banned for "circumventing a ban" even though my account wasn't banned to begin with. (No, I didn't have any alt accounts)

That's exactly what mine was for. I think it was around 2 years later that it was restored.
