Frequently asked questions

What is ban evasion?

Ban evasion is when a user whose account has been banned from your community creates or uses a different account to continue participating.

How does the filter work?

The filter analyzes account patterns and behaviors to identify accounts that may belong to previously banned users. Flagged content is routed to your mod queue for review.

Should I still report accounts the filter identifies as suspected ban evaders?

Yes. Reporting suspected ban evaders helps Reddit take site-wide action in addition to your community-level filtering.
