May I ask, how many violations was it on that particular account? Because I always dropped them after a 3-day ban, which is the second offense, and out of spite I wait to start a new account, which is what I'm doing right now, the first time I waited a year and a half, I think I might mostly quit now, but they don't seem to care until your account gets hot. Like if you make a new account which you can do with it temporary email like guerilla mail, they are like wink wink, for now.
Dont bother with a new account. You'll just get banned randomly for having a different opinion than a mod on some shitty hobby sub.
Reddit is useful for getting information for troubleshooting and stuff when your search engine directs you there, but its not somewhere you want to actually be.
