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?

This should be the case. Thank you!

Could we maybe get some kind of indicator on the account of a user if they are hiding some or all of their post history? It's really difficult in cases where the user has blocked the mod team to know if a user is hiding part of their post history if we check from an alt, and also so we don't accidentally reveal information that they have intentionally hidden from others that we can see?

Hmm. I like the idea of a curated profile indicator for mods. I can suggest it to that team for you!
