Rules:
I went to their wiki and looked at their commenting rules. I don't think I see anything about comment editing and deletions:
However, I might have run afoul their "absolutely no bots" policy. I have set my deletion tool to edit my posts before deleting. It might have been detected by their own bots and have flagged my account accordingly.
Getting "caught" as a bot is pretty likely. The first time I mass-edited my posts I got spam asking me to "not spam the subreddit" for every edit in AskReddit. When I re-ran it a few days later they must have fine-tuned that because I didn't get any more from them. But it seems likely that another sub could have had an auto-ban tied to similar bot detection.
It's more likely they muted you. Afaik editing has sort of a timeout for API calls so if you do it too quickly, so your tool needs to delay each edit for a few seconds or it would cause issues. I know Power Delete Suite has not added this feature yet unfortunately.
This version of power delete suite added the feature. Each edit happens after 5.1s, the exact time to ensure no API timeout.
Thanks for this. I am not in my daily driver (where I've set things up) right now but I'll be checking this out (and whether or not I've used the version without the 5.1s delay) once I come back.
It's likely that you tripped the auto-mod. The same thing happened to me with YouShouldKnow after setting power delete to edit all my comments.
Yeah, that's what I think happened, almost certain now.
Anyways, barring any more subreddits going public, I think I've already dealt with most of my stuff over at Reddit. I'd only be coming back to check up on the state of my posts, and to make sure everything has been, and stays deleted.
