Reddit improved their anti-ban evasion system, cuz it’s the sixth or more failed attempt at evading a permanent ban. Never more, I am staying here.

FUCK YOU, SPEZ!

    Just make sure to check again in a day or two. At the height of the purge, reddit was shown to be restoring deleted or over-written comments to what they were before.

      I know that they were restoring deleted accounts, but I don’t think there’s any way for them to restore over written comments to previous versions, so overwritten comments are probably more important than actually deleting the account, although you can delete it after you overwrite everything.

        Nothing is ever deleted from Reddit and edits are stored. Deleting it doesn’t actually delete it, it just marks it as deleted.

        This is information coming directly from Reddit devs/admins over the years.

          Can you link to evidence of comments being timestamped, restored or archived by reddit? I’ve read about both deletes being reversible and edits being stored, but I found no incontrovertible evidence for comment iterations being stored or recovered, although there seems to be a lot of anecdotal evidence for deleted accounts being easily restored by admins, which would make sense.

            No because I can’t be bothered. Its common knowledge and again, this comes from multiple confirmations even from spez himself.

              I’ve heard that repeated, but I haven’t seen any evidence of it with regards to overwritten comments. Deletions, yes, but so far there doesn’t seem to be any cause for concern for restoring overwritten comments.
