      They found out the hard way that abuse is only tolerated if you have passed a certain wealth threshold.

      Oh, no, I didn’t give a shit, I burned through Reddit accounts like nobody’s business. The fact that the admin was so triggered as to sit there, banning and unbanning me, just to spam me with notifications, was the greatest possible reward I could have ever asked for.

      First thing I did on the new account was report the exact same post. Didn’t get banned.
