Remove Reddit Up/Downvotes

In the Reddit data package you get two files: post_votes.csv and comment_votes.csv. These provide URLs to all up/down voted posts and comments respectively.

It would be nice to be able to remove all historical possible up/down votes to keep things as clean as humanly possible.

Hey @QuickKoala - thanks for your post!

That’s a great suggestion. Manually removing downvotes and upvotes is difficult to do in Reddit’s UI. Providing a solution to this with Redact is very appealing :slight_smile:

We’ll investigate and keep this thread updated.

any news on this feature?

I thought Redact already had a mass upvote / downvote redaction option where you can undo all your upvotes or downvotes?

Doesn’t reddit disallow you to change your upvoting and downvoting history after a set amount of time?

Trigger may be correct, I think there is a set amount of time you can change your voting on a comment or thread? Or maybe I am thinking of making upvotes on older comments. I know there have been times in the past when i try to upvote old comments or posts and it wont allow me to do it.

Reddit does allow you to change your votes on old comments or threads, I’ve done it before. Technically, this feature should be doable I think.
