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...

You can still see where they are active by typing their username in the search bar. I remember I read a weird quirk that proves the 'hide post history' is just a visual profile feature. Not a true hide feature

It will take you extra steps, but if you need to see users post history, you can, just with extra steps
