It works great. Thanks everyone that replied, and thanks for the documentation. As usual, you're all very helpful!
This is a test of JGE's recommendation
Did it work?
Yes it did!
Thanks JGE!
I'm going to say that picture was taken in China? But yes. That is hell. Not too far off from where I am living.
Sorry for the old-school terminology and mis-terms in this message as I have not had a problem like this since my dumb-terminal days (I'm guessing that long)
How does one add the proper carriage returns to a post?
I have these three lines, with a new line on each but formats as one paragraph: This is line 1. This is line 2. This is line 3.
The only way I can separate these lines is using an extra carriage return between each line which looks horrible.
This is line 1.
This is line 2.
This is line 3.
How do I get the above lines to show up without that extra new line between each?
Thanks!
Not at all. I understand what your saying. My intentions were strictly for bot monitoring. From what I'm getting at the functionality doesn't exist to view all the subscribers. Thanks.
Is there a way to view the subscriber list. I'm thinking there are some bots sitting on the sub. I would like to confirm. Thanks.
Wow! My first hands on a Linux distribution! It was like version pl .18 or something like that. Not even v1 yet. I ran an internet access bbs off of it using shell and slip (for client) with 5 dialins. Backend was either DSL or 28.8k modem. Boy did that thing get laggy sometimes. People loved it though. I charged $20 for 3 months. Never made any money. I just did it for the fun. What a great distribution. Congrats Slackware!

Can I ask if this sounds like bots handled my relationship situation on Reddit?
My ex broke up with me about 4 months ago. It was a brutal discard and ghost on her part. I ended up going to Reddit for support and really trashed her actions and our relationship on some of the relationship subreddits there. Nothing serious and no doxxing but some specifics that she might recognize if she read it. I was just venting hardcore anonymously which is what I do to get over something like this. After a few weeks I started to notice that many of the posts on the relationship subreddits looked like they could be based on our relationship or might be slightly off in time or other minor details. Then I start to see what I interpreted initially as my ex's attempt to communicate with me. I'm going through a series of messages in Reddit which get me to one specific story. The title of the story had my ex's name as the poster and in the title it states a characteristic of hers that no one else would know and I'm having a conversation with someone that had her name as her Reddit handle but the spelling was slightly off but the same pronunciation. So I posted a reply and got an immediate auto-response saying this is not your person but we will reach out to them. The next day I'm back at the post chatting with this person again but they are being non-responsive or vague in their responses but she/it states things that might be vaguely related to something I've posted before. I'm seeing more posts which appear to be related to our relationship but with a little more threatening overtone. I'm starting to feel like I'm getting harassed on there and things are happening with my phone specifically with the Reddit app that appear to be abnormal. I removed it from my phone and started using Narwhal again. Then I start seeing strange things occurring with that (one time I was redirected to what appeared to look like the FBI website). As I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, my accounts are getting flagged and I can no longer post with them. This happens to multiple accounts I created. Then my last action I was on the subreddit chatting with someone that indirectly appeared to be my ex. This person was giving me an impression 100% that it was her without telling me it was. My account gets disabled and I decided this was a lost cause and I need to move on from this venture.
In addition, I'm getting prank phones calls once in a while. I've also been dealing with fake dating profiles since breakup which I believe are her doing. My conclusion was that perhaps she worked in some form for Reddit or was a moderator and organized this with other moderators or employees. It would require some technical expertise which I know she didn't have. I recall her stating that she used Reddit and she was very addicted to it but I never saw what she would do on there. Based on what I was reading on the subreddits, I was getting the impression that she had moved to San Francisco (home of Reddit), but due to a disorder she doesn't have a high school diploma. My thoughts went from the possibility that my ex wanted to reconnect to the point where I thought I was getting harassed by multiple individuals that would force demands on me. It got so bad that I sent Reddit a cease and desist letter. The events above occurred within the last 3-4 weeks.
I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm not discounting that it was all scripted and possibly automated. What I noticed in the past weekend was an uptick in the posts as though they are being auto-generated. The posts are no longer specific to us or have any demands of me on there. I'm not sure what to make of this and I don't have my ex's contact information anymore and I'd be afraid to even reach out even if I did.
Does anyone have any past experience like this? Or is there somewhere I can post this experience where people might have an idea as to what happened here? It's all just very odd to me leaving me a bit distraught until I gave up.
Thank you.
oh gosh, where would I start? Been around the world, seen it all. Got Shanghai"d once. Watched buildings fall to the ground while people jumped from 90 stories just a block away. Had relationships with so many women that I covered the cluster-b spectrum.
