News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
That's from AutoModerator, which is configured by subreddit mods. Messages from Reddit admins would not come from AutoModerator.
Huh, I just realized that but I'm not sure what the AutoMod rule would be in that case.
It's definitely subs automod, I used the delete tool a few years ago and got multiple messages telling me to stop scrubbing my comments
That's actually really interesting that subreddit mods set it up that way that it notices if someone changes so much so quickly and send such a message. I would have never thought of that, but I mean I guess it makes sense if they want to keep the subreddit content. Still really interesting. So these mods probably want to intimidate the person to get them to stop?
Well it worked on me lol.. I stopped deleting my comments and just deleted my account
Does that keep your comments forever?
Yes, but your account becomes "unlinked" from that comment. The user is shown as [deleted]
I tend not to delete my comments anymore because many people use Reddit as a source for information and I find it frustrating when a potential solution for me has their comments deleted
Yeah, I know that with [deleted], but thanks for the answer.
That's just interesting for me because I thought a company would need to delete all information about a user if they delete their account… I wonder if this is conform to the GPDR.
I have no idea about the gdpr aspect but I would assume it's fine because that comment is in no way linked back to you. I could be wrong
Why is it not linked to you? I could write my name here, my address, any personified information. And I think even without that a company must delete everything it got from you if you want.
By that I meant linked back to your Reddit account
If you wrote any personal info on a public forum, it's probably already been archived somewhere anyways especially with Reddit (I can find most threads on archive.org)
I get what you mean by deleting your comments too though, but all I know is that Reddit doesn't do that. It just keeps the comment but makes it "anonymous"
I know that most stuff is archived and everything, but my point still is that I thought that companies like Reddit have to delete all content a user generated like that. As I said, that's just what I'm pretty sure the law here was like, but I mean, probably I'm wrong. It's still very interesting to me; I might look into this at some other time.
Indeed, it even says "this subreddit" at the bottom. I wonder which sub it links to. And I wonder if OP was fooled by this, or intentionally helping in spreading misinformation.
