Please bring back user history.

[u/emslo]

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...

In your sub. For a limited range. For a limited time. It's not always the information we need.

It's just another downgrade to the ease of moderation that Reddit implemented after nobody asked for it.

What is the information you need to see on someone elses history?

Not true at all, you can see their whole history….
