Did you link your phone number to the account? That’s usually what stops the ban cycle. It sucks but these days most people who sign up without a phone number are bots so they put you through the ringer to prove you’re real

I definitely verified my phone number twice as part of the “appeal” process. I can’t check if it’s on the account until I can log in though :D

They probably commented in the other sub

I’ve seen multiple subreddits that block people who were active in a specific other subreddit

They goal of a recipe website is to get ad revenue.

Top tier ad networks won’t accept your site if it’s just straight up recipes so you need to have the padding to get approved.

And it increases the amount of ads you can squeeze onto the page for higher RPMs

This was my thought too. Mail chimp is probably the worst ESP so all options are going to beat it

I don’t think that is the norm for most people is it?

I only get a 2fa confirmation if it’s some absurd amount of money

For most people that is the user base that makes them the most money, so I think it would be skewed in the right direction

I usually just add a filter so it automatically skips my inbox and gets deleted

Did you have SPF and DKIM records created properly?

You would be using thunderbird or whatever your client of choice is so that’s where you would be searching.

If I want to search the last 15 days of email then client-side search might work. If I want to search the last 15 years of email instantaneously then I need server-side storage and search.

Think that’s sort of the point. They don’t want your ID, they want you to use Bitcoin
