Harassment!

Hey, thanks for confirming it works for me! I was afraid that it wouldn't. FYI, you can still overwrite your comments and not receive that message, just follow the instructions that it provides for you.

You might be a bit slow since you think it's harassment though, so let me sum it up.

Linking to self-promotional spam, is spam. Change it to be a [deleted], a . or anything else that is not spam, and you won't get the message.

I don't know how I feel about this. I mean your comment is this:

[deleted] What is this?

Where "What is this?" is a link to the source. If many, many of your posts became that at once then it is probably going to trigger spam warning flags for automod and the moderators.

The message, while far ruder than it needed to be, is also saying "Yo, we don't care. We think it is pointless, but whatever. For the love of god change it to something that looks less like a spam message". So they are telling you how to avoid having auto-mod whap you.

As such, rudeness aside, I don't see this as harassment. It's one message per post that automod detected as spammy looking. This is transparency. The original comments may have been months to years old, but by editing them you have "refreshed" them to "now" in the eyes of automod.

Maybe see if changing the link to "If you want to know what happened to this comment PM me" or something to that effect.

Err... Using scripts such as that one is a dick move.

Look at OP's top comment and look at the reply. It's now out of context. Totally useless.

Also, here's OP's comment. It's all saved on the internet and everybody can access it if they know what they're doing.

Report it to the admins. This is a use of automoderator fully intended to spam users engaging in a legitimate, non-invasive behaviour.

[–]989490[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (12子コメント)

Done. I could really care less if my comments were removed, just the messages themselves were quite rude. Note that these comments were made on posts months or years old.

[–]G_Petronius 2ポイント3ポイント  (11子コメント)

I reported it too. This is an unacceptable retailatory use of AutoMod to spam users they don't like.

[–]xXxSoulxXx -3ポイント-2ポイント  (10子コメント)

It doesn't spam people they don't like, how do you even come to that conclusion?

[–]G_Petronius 2ポイント3ポイント  (9子コメント)

It's an automod config designed to spam people who use a script that they angrily consider 'dumb, shitty and useless', despite that script not doing anything to them. It's purely retailatory against people who do something they dislike.

[–]xXxSoulxXx -1ポイント0ポイント  (7子コメント)

It impacts there sub and takes away from the posts. Not to mention it is useless, nothing is hidden. I've been annoyed more than a few times seeing top comments/replies removed and replaced by scripts like this. Don't contribute if you dont want whatever you said remaining.

It impacts there sub and takes away from the posts.

Not something that mods can argue about. On reddit you have the faculty of deleting your own content, in fact it's a legal faculty that you have period.

But you still need explain how that justifies them spamming a user's inbox. That is 100% against the sitewide rules, do you understand this? yes or no.

[–]phedremore cancerous than rie 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Let's not confuse legal rights with forum use. You have no legal rights on Reddit - not to free speech, freedom from censorship, or even to use the website at all.

[–]G_Petronius -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

Except you do have the legal right to remove your own content, at least in the EU. Which is why I mentioned it.

[–]phedremore cancerous than rie 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Reddit is an American company.

[–]xXxSoulxXx -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

You certainly have the right to edit or delete but subs have there own rules and can basically do what they want for the most part including complain when you do. I don't see it as spam, one msg is sent per post. They can't tell automod how many time to reply to one person. The users actions are causing the automod to respond so I doubt admins would call it spam either.

[–]G_Petronius 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't see it as spam

Ah yes, filling someone's inbox with identical messages clearly is not spam, how could I possibly think otherwise.

The users actions are causing the automod to respond

No, the automod setup is causing it to respond. And the automod is set up to intercept a script that acts hundreds of times.

They can't tell automod how many time to reply to one person.

That's right, which is why they shouldn't be doing it altogether.

so I doubt admins would call it spam either.

We'll see. The discussion is otherwise moot.

It IS dumb, shitty, and useless. It doesn't serve any purpose except for some twat to pat themselves on the back for "sticking it to THE MAN" by overwriting their drivel. If you want to nuke your history, sack up and and actually nuke it, don't spam this trash.

Are you retarded?

[–]phedremore cancerous than rie -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes. Yes he is.

[–]xXxSoulxXx -2ポイント-1ポイント  (3子コメント)

This isn't cancer per this subs definition btw. Imo people who remove comments are annoying plus its pointless. Change one letter in the URL and you can see the original anyway. There msg could have been worded far better but apart from that I don't see the issue.

[–]ReBurnInatorSancho Panza[M] 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

It is cancer per this sub's definition. Moderators of that subreddit are using automoderator to spam users who update their content in a way the mods don't like. That's mod abuse.

If the script leaves behind a message that is not appropriate for the subreddit the mods could just as easily remove those comments with no PM.

[–]xXxSoulxXx 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

So what use are considering this personal bias? Just I read 'what is cancer' and it doesn't seem to really fit.

[–]phedremore cancerous than rie -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd argue that the script itself is designed to harass. If someone really just intends to nuke their history rather than "sending a message", they could just delete the comments altogether, or replace them with an empty string. There's no need to replace it with a message about OMG CENSORSHIP AND DOXXING.

Harass

Lmao, robots now harass too?

This sub is turning into a SJW haven

[–]ReBurnInatorSancho Panza 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Don't be obtuse. The moderators are harassing people with messages via automod.

Automoderator is going to do whatever the mods tell it to do, and they know that if someone uses the script to overwrite dozens of comments that the user will get dozens of messages in their inbox. The mods are intentionally spamming people when they could just as easily have automoderator remove the comment.
