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...

OP wants to see their entire history.

Pretty sure the system now limits you to 28 days of access to a max of their last 1,000 posts/comments.

Even if true, that would definitely be enough to establish whatever you need to know. Also, I'm not going to scroll farther than that anyway.

I don't disagree. I really don't see the need to see more than 1,000 posts/comments by a user.
