I was just banned from /r/personalfinance for tipping and learned a valuable lesson on tipping etiquette in the process.


I had a few thousand bits saved up from the tips I have received over the last 12 months and decided it was a good time to put them to use, so I cleaned out my wallet in the one thread.


My approach was all wrong, I found a thread complaining about bank fees and tipped every top level comment in it.


In reflection this was not the correct approach, it spammed the thread and was not a good look.


Moving forward I will be more tactful with my tips and today I have received a valuable lesson along with my first sub-reddit ban!


I have talked with the mods and apologized, they're not lifting the ban but have also clarified tipping is not outlawed in the sub but my misguided approach is.


EDIT: My ban has been changed from permanent to 21 days.
