So basically my main Reddit account got restricted for no reason, I didn't post anything wrong I didn't do anything that should have caused it, so today I made this new account to basically ask for help and see if I can recover my account or is it gone forever.

The account name was: Killz_Orsabs

That account has been banned. You should log in to it and appeal the ban.

You should not use a different account, because that's "evading" and will get you permanently banned from Reddit on any/all accounts.

Oh I see much appreciated, but why can't I have more than 1 accounts? Surely people can use multiple accounts at once no?

You can have many accounts. You just can't use them to evade a ban. A person is banned - not just one account. Otherwise, bans would be meaningless - people would just create a new account and carry on. Reddit doesn't permit that.

For example, if your first account is banned from the subreddit r/help, you can't use your second account to post there - even though it it's not actually blocked from posting, it will be detected and then all your accounts will be banned entirely.

And if your first account is banned from all of Reddit, you can't use a different account to continue to use Reddit. Instead, you need to resolve that ban by appealing.
