Hey! Sorry for the joke, I didn’t expect it to be seen by a real user!
As we are one of the very few instances that has a no email policy there is very few ways in which we can determine if a person signing up is a bot or a regular user.
Recently a very very specific person or group of people have been abusing Reddthat to create accounts, then ask interesting questions (let’s just say that), and then proceed to delete their account (which deletes all of their posts and comments). This makes it impossible to figure out what they have done unless someone quotes the reply or reports it before they delete it.
I’m sorry you got caught up in the little bit of fun us admins have with writing little anecdotes or fun catch phases!
You are welcome to come say hi on Reddthat any time!
Oops! Sometimes we admins like to joke around!
