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 [email protected] 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.

    “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.
