    Does Reddit not persist post and comment revision history? If they do-- as a developer imaging myself in charge of such a feature-- I would just use full post and comment revision history for training, directly from the database.

    This extension probably feels great, but may accomplish very little.

      They do. After I deleted all my comments, using automatic tools (that replace the text) and manually, they keep recreating them. In fact, this might sound a bit like a conspiracy, but I’ve noticed all my comments that do come back are the ones that people find coming from Google.

      So everything is deleted, then some user searches Google for a solution and my comment was the only one, as soon as they click the post, my comment is back and shows up in my account. The original comment, not even the modified version that should’ve replaced it.

      So 100% Reddit keeps everything.

        Then the solution is to continue posting on reddit and poisoning your own post with random nonsense words and hope that does something, I guess.
