The whole concept of a ban is to follow a person not an account though... This has been true for every single forum I've ever frequented (including HN). The fact that this isn't always true is due to an (necessarily for both ethical and technological reasons) imperfect implementation.

It's pretty terrible they would go these lengths to ban an individual for disagreeing with them politically.

The punishment does not fit the crime. I think it's disgusting that they are sniffing out IPs for such low level offenses.

I made no threats. I simply disagreed with the wrong person on r/politics.

Moderators on Reddit have absolutely zero access to IP addresses. You are misinformed.

And the robo mod? The auto-ban?

They have zero access to IPs too right?

Mods human or otherwise is what I'm referring to.
