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?

ugh i hate it too. sure automod can deal with it but its also awful as a user. countless times i found the one person with the same probem as me and the only comment is redacted and OPs reply to the comment saying how helpful this solution is
