      One could just mass edit all their comments to contain some garbage with power delete suite. Of course they would have to hurry, as that relies on the reddit api for making the edits.

          If one was to delete the top 1000 comments, then would the older ones be visible?

          I had separate accounts for pretty much every community, so they didn’t have too many comments.

          PowerDeleteSuite got 1495 of my comments. Double checked from multiple devices while logged out, it definitely worked

            Same experience here with 2k+ comments processed, but I did use one of the forks that waits 5s between each edit/deletion to avoid getting rate-limited

              Alternative to using a forked version is to use inbuilt browser dev tools to throttle the connection within a tab. In firefox eg: ctrl+shift+c -> network->throttling. That way it can’t flood the server with requests.

              BTW: where did you find the fork?

                That sounds useful, built-in stuff is nice, although I don’t know for what else I could use it lol anyway I didn’t know about that, so thanks!

                In the early days after people started noticing that some comments weren’t being edited/deleted I stumbled upon a comment, don’t remember whether on here on on Reddit, that suggested using this fork.

        I’m thinking, instead of mass deleting/mass editing, which would be easily detectable and reversed, manually editing high value comments like tech support or consumer advice.

    You don’t want to delete your account until you are absolutely certain that your content will remain permanently deleted, as it appears that they are restoring deleted content.

      This… My worry is that they will revert my data AFTER the api calls. I’m not keen on deleting thousands of comments by hand. Remember that after the API changes all those tools will become unavailable.

          A tool being a script doesn’t mean it’s not using API calls. Although I suppose an autoit script could be used to find delete buttons on a screen. Still a pain in the butt rather than just using the API calls.

            Clicking the delete button on the website just makes your browser send API calls (albeit maybe a different, private API than other scripts may use)

    i got my account banned and then i kept sending harassing messages via appeals. the last one was “i hope you have to suck dick for food when reddit goes public and the stock price drops” and next thing i know my permanent ban was removed.

        i swear it happened as i said. I already got myself banned from every major subreddit on that account at that point, it had 138k comment karma but yea i talked shit sometimes. then i got banned from a bunch more after i edited all my comments to say fuck /u/spez. i plan to delete the account when the api shuts down today.

    This is a horrible idea. Please don’t do that. Trust me, you will regret it.

    I’m curious why. What are the advantages of having an account banned over deleting or abandoning it?
