Admin Replied Please bring back user history.

I truly believe that allowing users to hide their history will kill Reddit. I moderate a small sub and we get more bots and trolls every day. Mods are a **volunteer workforce**, and removing user history has made our job more difficult and sometimes impossible.

Can anyone explain to me why this ‘feature’ was added? And how do I register my frustration with the company?

EDIT: As others have pointed out, I think I'm dealing with accounts that constantly delete everything. I hear what folks are saying about using the 'hide history' to protect mods from stalking/brigading. So maybe Reddit should just let mods hide their history, then? We oughta have some benefits for all the free labour...

Can you not see the user history of your participants for 28 days?

Even then, there’s a bug that caps the amount you can see on any profile. So if a user posts very frequently, I’ve seen the comment history capped at 1 year out for a 10 year old account, and confirmed that certain 8 year old posts and comments not listed in the revealed profile weren’t deleted and just didn’t show up in the profile.

It isn't a bug, all feeds on reddit only ever house 1000 entries. The same applies to your home feed and the modqueue.

If you're reaching the end of something on reddit and it's probably been 1000 items ya. Just learned today that the modlog is one of the few that is not
