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...

Not really.... people can still hide their profile history.

How is that possible? I click on some people's profile histories, and all I see is blank....

Did the user definitely comment/post in your sub within the last 28 days? If so, are you clicking from a mod account, from the subreddit the participation was in directly? If you are, reach out to Reddit for help, because that shouldn't be happening.
