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.
