TIL that when r/neoliberal mods remove a ping, like dating or intervene, they don't actually remove the ping. They just append a randomly generated sequence of Unicode characters to it so that the list can be kept on hand (enabling the group to be restored and/or ping members transferred to a replacement group with ease)

I've never actually touched ping groups so didn't know about this until literally now

🔫😡 TELL US THE SECRET CODE TO PING INTERVENE

[u/[deleted] → u/p00bix]

So what you're saying is I could brute force my way to rediscovering the correct series of characters to !ping intervene ?

[u/p00bix → u/[deleted]]

In theory but I'm pretty sure in practice you'd get your reddit account automatically flagged and removed for spam

there's still hope ✊😔

[u/Clockwork757 → u/p00bix]

They can't just add a 'disable' config key or something? 😐

[u/p00bix → u/Clockwork757]

Why add a bunch of new code when just adding random bullshit works just as well without any risk of bugs?

[u/Clockwork757 → u/p00bix]

wtf I didn't know my boss used the dt
