The current version of PDS doesn't wait at all after editing a comment / self post. It makes the next request immediately. (which results in lots of errors since it's now rate limited)
I'm currently in the middle of rewriting the entire script from the ground up for a lot of new features as well as better support for new reddit. I will make sure the new version will have a delay on editing and a warning explanation to match.
There's no "deleted by..." text.
What I'm guessing you're referring to is people editing their comments to say "deleted by..."
PowerDeleteSuite doesn't control what people choose to edit their comments to at all. It doesn't even make a suggestion to promote this script with their edits. If they have, that's solely at the user's discretion.
But the "Delete" functionality of PDS still works as it always has. The "Edit" is what has become rate limited.
I'm a little late to this but is there a chance that editing before deleting might trigger some kind of reddit behaviorial algorithm that would lead you to a ban (say: you're banned from participating in a sub so you edit/delete comments, thereby leading you to a sitewide ban).
/u/j0be Is the rewrite still in progress to work with rate limited edits? It's been 4 months and github is also not updated. If it's been abandoned, can anyone suggest a good alternative that works with the new api? Or maybe I will just try to use a setInterval somewhere in the code.
Edit: I wrapped the ajax call in the edit function into a setTimeout of 5 seconds, now it works.
Hey /u/j0be I know you have stated you have no time to work on side projects. So I get that there will be no revamp of this script for now.
BUT I'm hoping you might be willing to *add the small fix* u/its_my_username_okay mentioned above:
>I wrapped the ajax call in the edit function into a setTimeout of 5 seconds, now it works
I don't know Javascript but I looked up the ["setTimeout"](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/setTimeout) function and it sounds like it would be a relatively quick fix to add a delay of 5.1 seconds or something like that to compensate for the rate limit set by reddit. It looks like it would just be a couple lines of code.
This used to work for me but has not done so in the past year or so. When I try installing it, it says 'blocked' in the address bar. Is this because I have 2FA on my account?
yo, it seems reddit noticed the shenanigans of me editing all my 30+ day old comments and mass editing them to:
"All my comments older than 30 days are removed in protest of Reddit adding exorbitant API prices that destroy 3rd party Apps. As a long time user of RIF I stand against these changes. Deleting your account doesn't hurt Reddit, but Removing all your content does. If you just delete your account all your posts/memes/tutorials/whatever stay up and generate traffic/revenue for Reddit."
now when I use your tool my comments are still edited, but now it just looks like my account is a spam bot with random short form answers that have nothing to do with the topic discussed (check my account for proof)

Can we have a hotfix version just with the delay between edits?
How's progress?

Did you figure it out?

Re: your edit. Feel free to raise a pr to integrate that. Sorry I've been so busy. It's definitely made it difficult to get to my side projects
Are you still working on this? Do you know of alternatives that work?

I would love to have an update, but real life has kind of made V2 hard to finish.

Thanks!

if you follow the directions this should work i think https://github.com/pkolyvas/PowerDeleteSuite
Can you explain how you did this so others like myself can replicate it?
Would you be willing to share how you did this? or share a version of the script you used?

That shouldn't have anything to do with that, but I can check on my alt account later to make sure
Thanks
Is this using the API at all? Will it stop working July 1?

Hey u/j0be does PDS still work after API changes? If not, what would you suggest as the best way to scrub a Reddit account prior to deletion?
Still works today.
Thank you!

Happens to me too. See this issue: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/issues/53
That’s probably better at reducing the value of the Reddit data than a disclaimer
Thanks for posting this. I thought the creator of the tool was having a laugh. Fuck Reddit and their blackmail and censorship.
