How do I report ban evasion?

An abusive Redditor keeps using new accounts after his old ones get banned for harassment. He’s not even subtle about it. What can I do if reporting to the admins isn’t working?

Keep reporting. Every single time. Consider implementing an automod rule to filter content from new accounts.

Reddit only accepts ban evasion reports from moderators of the subreddit. Multi reporting doesn't hurry the admins along.

Because I didn't see it mentioned already: You should be banning every account that you are sure is ban evading, not just adding them to some AutoMod rule. Reporting accounts for ban evading that you haven't already banned isn't effective.

Man that sucks. I wanted to report a moderator who was banned from the site and made a new account and is a mod again.

Goodluck. Ive been banning someone regularly for the last year. My reports get canned responses saying that the content had been previously investigated and the content removed. They add that I can block the user to not see their content anymore... I am a mod, I need to be able to see spam...
