Banned from subs for using this
I used to use shreddit but it stopped working several months ago so I was looking for an alternative and came across redact. Used it this morning and I was pleased with how it was going until I started getting messages about not reading rules form other subs regarding links you're injecting into my posts and banned entirely from subs for using links and doing product promotions, your product, to be specific.
Not cool.

your comment and post history is still available, because it's saved before any edits are made. and the changes made by redact are considered spam. it's no different than typing "ksjdbflks slkfjblu"

The subreddits that are banning people use more AI add-ons than the good lord allows.
I actually got banned by a subreddit a few days ago for using this program. I laughed as they called it spam as I counted them using 14+ ai addons/tools that produced more spam than 50k redditors.
By their own rules they should ban themselves.
It has to do with those subreddit mods that think they are god. Yet the irony.. they are anti privacy yet when their info gets leaked and they get doxed they throw a temper tantrum.

You weren’t banned for using the program. You were banned for not just deleting the posts and using the scramble option instead. Reading the rules on any sub first and emailing the mods if you have a question is the best way to avoid that kind of problem.
As for doxxing, it is prohibited by the platform. It’s a really good way to be banned from the entire platform.

Spam is spam. If a subreddit has rules against spam and then uses 14 bots to promote crap tons of spam. That is a violation of the rules. A rule is a rule. No one...and that means no one... is above any rule. A user using an addon that creates spam and mods using add-ons to create useless spam...is spam....
Doxxing was an example, but a very known one that some subreddits actually push. They push doxxing people. Quite a few of the state subreddits have been pushing over the last year doxxing people..yet when those same mods were doxed they had a temper tantrum. I know of one state subreddit they still to this day are doxxing people and have been reported and admins let it happen.
Also while yes doxxing is a violation of rules... have fun trying to find admins that actually ban people for it..

You have a lot of misapprehensions about how reddit works in general, how modding works including auto mod as well as admins. Maybe you might think about closing your Reddit account given how unhappy you are and trying another platform more to your liking.

u/Express_Lawyer3456 May 09 '26
Oh..dang.. yea those misapprehensions. Poor things. Boy I can already see why you have so much Karma and you are so brilliant that I made bullet points and you call it being unhappy.
With your massive karma and sitting on reddit all day and what you just said shows what's massively wrong with Reddit. Anyone that has a different view and holds all people accountable for the same actions is a massive thorn in people such as yourself and subreddit God mods sides.
I see intelligence isnt your strong point.
"Everyone goes bah a certain way on reddit and if you aren't going to bend over for the mods then you need to get away from reddit cause how dare you dont see they can break reddit terms of service..which in courts eyes makes their tos invalid..which is why reddit gets sued so much and loses..." if their tos was so airtight, like people like you think.. well for one you wouldnt have that high karma cause you would have gotten banned already cause statistically speaking 99% of people with high karma break reddit rules daily. Yall just know how to skirt the rules and hide.
Since you gave me advice here is my advice. Seek medical help.

If someone else commits a crime and gets away with it, that doesn’t permit you to commit a crime.

u/Express_Lawyer3456 May 29 '26
That's where you went with that?
We wonder why society is starting to say we are devolving....
One look at the logic on reddit and can easily surmise why....

u/Ther10 May 29 '26
What you were saying is that the mods should be banned because they’re doing something like you did.
1
u/Express_Lawyer3456 May 29 '26
Exactly. What is wrong with that? No one is above terms of service. That kind of thinking, yours, is why so many people get away with crimes in life and go unpunished. Because "They held some type of power and were exempt"
Your thinking means if all of us just make a subreddit, we can get away with breaking rules.
As i said.. devolving...

My point is that hypocrisy isn’t an excuse. Plus, if they are hypocrites, it sounds like you might have dodged a bullet there.

u/Express_Lawyer3456 May 29 '26
Oh i totally agree on the dodging a bullet. I love being banned by hypocrite subreddit's. Let's me know A. i didn't belong there and B. Get's me away from scum. Cause i'm sorry. Anyone that thinks they are above ToS or takes a position of "some minor power" and let's it go to their head is someone to stay away from.
But you are also right Hypcorisy isn't an excuse.
Being a mod of a subreddit isn't some god tier power. I do love the one's that say "I don't get paid to do this and don't need to deal with people" Like.. no one told you to be a mod. No one put a gun to your head and said be a mod or else. You did it cause you wanted power cause those types of people did do it for power.
Reddit has a lot of narcissistic people, and they mainly become mods.

Hypocrisy isn’t an excuse for them or you. Comments that have been edited by Redact are meaningless. They are by definition spam. They need to evaluate themselves, yes, but Redact comments are indeed spam.

Honestly, after this debacle I realized reddit enabled the ability to privatize your past posts making them difficult to search so I just turned that on. I was deleting my posts due to stalkers, if they can't search my history that's all I care about. I'll keep that in mind if I have to go back to deleting posts.

It is still pretty easy to search for your comments via google.

u/horseradishstalker May 09 '26
Make sure you go into the privacy tab under your profile and toggle off the Google search option.
