    My account is banned. I can still log in and lurk, but not post, upvote, etc. And, as I already said: When I log in to the main site, it says “account permanently banned”. When I log in to old reddit, it says “provide an email to reactivate your account”.

      I didn’t see where you already said that. Weird though that it happens to you and not me. Seems like we’re doing the same things otherwise. I did recently have an issue where my adblock was preventing me from logging in on firefox but it was just saying my username/password were invalid. If you have that going maybe try turning it off to log in and see what happens.

        Whoopsies! I posted that to a similar conversation in a completely different thread, I got confused. My apologies. I don’t know what you mean when you say that it is happening to me but not to you. You say that your account is banned and that you can only lurk - sounds exactly the same as my experience. Nothing to do with adblock as I have confirmed the problem on multiple platforms.

          I missed the part where you said you could log in. So yea I think our experience is consistent. You got banned for not having an email on your account?

            I can’t remember the exact wording of the justification for the ban, but it was something vague like “violation of site wide policy”. I did not do anything questionable to trigger a ban. I suspect that the real reason for the ban was to force me to provide an email address. The reason I think that is that old reddit displays the message “provide an email address to reactivate your account”.
