> are you alleging that multi-accounting results in a fingerprinting ban
Multi-accounting where just 1 of those accounts was banned from 1 subreddit results in a fingerprint ban across all accounts if any of those accounts is found posting to that subreddit. There is no warning, and I was not banned for something else (except originally, from the 1 subreddit, which was based on a highly debatable mod decision). Not sure what part of "I actually experienced this" you're failing to understand.
> if you got a ban and then attempted to circumvent it
Again, you're not understanding the problem. IT CAN LOOK LIKE I was "attempting to circumvent" a ban, when I simply forgot that I had been banned from 1 subreddit on some other account. I was not "attempting to circumvent" anything, I simply failed to unsubscribe from that subreddit across all my accounts. And AFTER THAT POINT, when Reddit has already "warned" you or whatever, you sign in with another account, it is IMMEDIATELY flagged as a "ban circumvention account" and then THAT account gets banned. It is a runaway explosion, basically. And if you try to at least leave a single account unbanned by removing cookies, etc. then those actions are seen as adding further guilt, which is hilarious because you're actually trying to avoid violating the ban any further but being penalized simply for using another account to not step on the same toes!
Feel free to peruse my comment history on HN, which is pretty representative of my online presence in general, and see if you can detect any personality flavor that is worthy of a sitewide ban. Remember that on HN, I can't delete past comments, so I can't now game my history to try to misrepresent myself.
