My particular problem: while kbin was mostly down this last week, a user posted an absurd number of posts to the microblog of a magazine I moderate (/m/food). I'd like to bulk delete all of their posts to that magazine. Is there a way to do that?...
If you're on Windows, you could possibly simulate bulk removal through an AutoHotkey script. I could try to help with this as best as I can. Is that user banned, at least?
Since the site has been down for all but a few hours of the last week, I've really wanted somewhere I can get a little information about what's going on....

What an era we live in to have to even think about these things. Apart from hardware, it sure seems like it needs moderation help to ward off these spambots.
Microplastic pollution has been found in all human semen samples tested in a study, and researchers say further research on the potential harm to reproduction is “imperative”. Sperm counts in men have been falling for decades and 40% of low counts remain unexplained, although chemical pollution has been implicated by many...
Interesting, thanks. I think ultimately, seeing this port's adherence to AHK v1 syntax, I'd just have to bite the bullet and learn Python or something, though...
Do you have any as-convenient alternative? It's way easier to use than Python or anything else, and it's sped up some of my work procedures by, like, 7x. I use it for dozens of text expansion strings, autocorrect, address typers, mouse-clickers, etc.
Never mind, I've since stumbled across xdotool! I suppose this may be doable after all...
Apparently, xdotool can! I guess the next thing would be generating GUIs. I think the final issue is that this would cause quite the fragmentation given how I use the same scripts on my Windows-only work laptop... but I'll think about this more...

There's a documentary that's more than a decade old that now only exists on Amazon Prime. I have searched everywhere for this but the website (and thus DVDs being sold) doesn't exist any more, there are no torrents, no second hand DVDs for sale that I can find online..... I'm OK with buying the doco from Amazon (albeit not happy...
Not really. It's constant sudden-death; your run ends the moment you can't beat an enemy in X turns. The turn limit is your health that resets per conflict. I greatly disliked this aspect of it.
It's best described as Yahtzee with poker hands using a mutated deck that could have missing cards, duplicate cards, insane multipliers, etc.
I typically don’t care about things like hairstyle, makeup or clothes. But my wife has started giving herself a buzz cut and I simply hate it. I told her and she grew it out for a while, but she said longer hair was making her depressed and it needed to be a buzz cut. She said it just looks like her when she sees it. Part of...
@ernest I'm up to cut down the spam from all the bots here. I've been an extensive Reddit moderator for a decade and run several subs and have dealt with innumerable spam and scams there. If you'd like the help, let me know!
Tanks of Freedom II (ToF II, earlier also Tanks of Freedom 3-D) is a turn-based strategy game for 1 - 4 players. The game has been created using Godot Engine. Game offers four single-player campaigns, as well as a skirmish mode, that can be played vs AI or other players in hot-seat, over LAN[3], or online via a relay server.[4]...
Sadly, I found this game to be terrible because it had so many typos, way too small font, and lack of redundancy in the tutorial to handle player mistakes; I accidentally destroyed an enemy unit using the wrong type (or something like that) and it got stuck and wouldn't let me finish. It just seemed poorly made.
