Please stop buying Reddit acounts!!
Post Body

Moderators can usually tell pretty easily when an account is purchased, and sometimes the username is even a dude's name. I mod a couple of big subreddits and I'm seeing more purchased accounts, and some women even admit they're purchased, not realizing that it is against Reddit's TOS. I know building karma is hard. I know Reddit is complicated, but the shortcuts don't work either and SWs have a bad rap in NSFW subreddits because of shit like this.

Seems like mods arbitrarily banning SWers and treating them like garbage makes SWers feel like theyā€™re damned if they do or damned if they donā€™t. Not much incentive to follow the rules of a rigged gameā€¦

Thatā€™s just trading better moderation for less exposure. I post in subs of all sizes, but often there simply arenā€™t alternatives to larger subs with millions of people. The ā€œjust go start your ownā€ argument is impractical since most here already have at least one full-time job.

Iā€™m not condoning breaking the rules. Iā€™m just saying that you get banned from enough subs despite your best efforts at following the rules (been banned from subs iā€™ve never posted in) I get how you could lose respect for the system.

For example, I assume mods take issue with accounts using upvote bot panels because it breaks reddit but if you were a SWer who felt unheard and with nothing to lose then buying upvotes for 1 cent each might start to sound appealing.

Mods want people to respect their rules but often neglect to realize that respect is reciprocal and ā€œremembering the humanā€ would go a long way in getting the behavior they want.
