We know that. But for some reason I’ve noticed more than half of Reddit thinks that a censored username suddenly makes the original post impossible to find. Also, I believe it’s a site-wide rule, no? I could definitely be wrong.
I'm pretty sure the rule exists not to prevent people from finding the post, but so the subreddit and the mods don't get in trouble if someone finds the post and decides to brigade it.
Kind of like how an adult website asks you if you're older than 18. Obviously you can lie, but it's so the people in charge can cover their asses and not be blamed for an individual's actions.
It's still more effort than a lot of people would put in. Also, if you have to find the post yourself, then at least you'll get the right author. If the screenshot shows the name, people are unlikely to verify the authenticity, and next thing you know, someone is getting a ton of harassment for something they didn't even write.
Yeah they didn't offer an apology or anything. And I don't want people to get the wrong idea. I am not trying to make any money off the crime writing I am doing it because I want these cases to blow up and get solved. But it's more about the principal of it.
This also leads into AI thing. I went to Youtube recently and found several AI true crime videos that were literally taking my exact posts and regurgitating them. I wish there was a sub to call out content stolen by AI. Its hard to do it on this sub as it relies on screenshots and its not practical to ask people to watch videos and compare it with my posts.
Not the same level as yours. I posted a pic on r/startreckmemes and it just disappeared. I posted again thinking that there was some kind of network failure. Same thing. Then exactly the same picture was posted a few hours after. I suspect a moderator.

That rule of covering the user is kinda useless. Takes a second to find any post.

Looks like they deleted the post

Maybe you have found your true calling.
I think Id rather stick with the true crime stuff than being the Chris Hansen of AI.
Lmao. To Catch a Robot.
This bot is here to plagiarize a 13 year old boy!

…I’m pretty sure I saw this exact same post posted elsewhere yesterday
Yes, he said that he had to repost it because he had not redacted the name in the previous version.
It's in the text of the post.
