Reddit is blocking vpns and invites users to create a ticket if they think there’s been an error. I almost created a ticket with email address fuckyouspez@gmail.com saying i wasn’t sure if I was using a VPN with the body text just being “fuckyouspez!!!” over and over. I didn’t submit it because I thought for a moment “would this be illegal to submit?” It probably isn’t, but I am not sure.

    Don’t know why it would be illegal. No threats or anything, just spam. And spam email sure as fuck ain’t illegal.

    Might be against the EULA or something and they’ll ban your account. I suspect that’s not a problem for you though.

      “Fuck you” is an insult, and email spam is illegal.

      So if someone with a tiny ego and tinier penis really wants to sue over this, they just might have a case.

        insults aren’t illegal, and spam mail isn’t generally illegal either. as far as I know, there’s no law against sending an occasional email even if it is spam. the general exceptions are for commercial/businesses types and that’s generally only really illegal when it breaks the email carriers.

        besides which, the OP is talking about opening a ticket on Reddit’s customer service system, not actually sending an email. Spez won’t even see it.

    why did people downvote this? i thought this community was “no stupid questions” not “we’re all better than you because you’re question sucks and your stupid”

      Because there is a difference in kind between questions like ‘How long do I boil an egg for?’ or ‘What things should I do around the house to keep it well maintained?’ and your question of ‘If I do this dumbass childish thing, will the cops come after me?’

      This community urgently needs to be hosted on an instance without downvotes. Maybe there’s one somewhere.

      @Blaze@reddthat.com you like migrating comunities to better places so maybe you could look into that. I don’t mind featuring the alternative community above this one when I implement discussion section in the directory.
