Ban evasion is a pretty standard reason for getting banned across just about all social networks/forums.

What makes that "ban evasion" though? Specifically I mean. Who is evading what in the case of separate subreddits being created? Is it that anyone that was apart of /r/fatpeoplehate is now never allowed to create a subreddit (because, again, it was claimed the ban was nothing to do with content, only the behavior of the community)?



If I ban you and you create a new account called Goronmon2 would you not accept that you are trying to evade a ban? Pretty obvious right? That is exactly what you did only instead of an account it was with subreddits.

>Is it that anyone that was apart of /r/fatpeoplehate is now never allowed to create a subreddit

No, but they aren't allowed to try and recreate fatpeoplehate because that would be ban evasion.


Circular logic is often strong in situations of authority worship.


How is this circular?
