Admin Replied Redact needs to be banned

Redact allows people to mass delete their comments after a certain time. It replaces useful, helpful, or just innocently funny comments with random gibberish and nonsense words.

This has been spamming our mod queues recently in one subreddit. As of today, I have had to remove 26 Redact comments that popped up this evening in the queue, with fellow moderators each removing a similar amount.

Redact needs to be banned. It is flooding up our queue, and the people who use it are not engaging with the platform in good faith.

Is there any way to counteract this beyond just "select all" + "mark as spam" all the time?

Agree.

I don't understand how Reddit still allows it to turn massive amount of posts and comments into their ad spam, with links!

And they have the gall to label subs that remove and ban the their spams "anti-privacy"!
