Comment on A peek into Reddit's anti-spam internalsparent

Comments

I'm sure you love Reddit's decision to allow users to hide their post history.

What I do love is that when you're a mod, that post history isn't necessarily hidden.

I don't think this covers comments (...on subreddits you don't mod)

It's definitely been a lot harder for me to uncover sockpuppetry

The same as youtubes removal of dislikes and more recently they disabled search results with newest results first.

Now I ignore a user based on other criteria (account age post/comment karma + a 50 times compressed repost)

They still let Google crawl, so [site:reddit.com "username"] can be instructive.

I hate that change. arctic-shift.photon-reddit.com still works, at least with comments before the change. Not sure about current comments.

It hasn't been working for about a week now.
