Hi, when I was a reddit faker (I haven’t relapsed, I’ve stayed out of reddit and never posted another fake story, im cured) I wondered if someone the mods would figure out the tens of accounts that came from my computer and noticed I was the writer of many fake stories.

It seems like that never happened, but come on, the only thing I used at the time was Firefox Containers to be able to sign up with a different account. Not even a VPN or any of that.

    He’s asking about moderators, not admins. Of course admins can see that information.

        Actually, moderators have access to a new tool that flags accounts suspected of ban evasion. The cannot see IPs or which other accounts were related, but they can see if an account is suspected and with what level of confidence. Many subreddits have a policy to ban all such flagged accounts.
