[edit: I'm sorry, I take that back. I was annoyed. I'll leave it up in order to own it but yeah, that was probably unwarranted of me.]

(Copying/pasting for visibility by a different user.)

Even better: I just looked at their Deletion Request form, and it asks for your email address. Seems like they will be getting too much information from Reddit, and with a bunch of moderator user names, how far off is it to glean a bunch of passwords? Also, their Removal Request post states:

This forum is managed by the community. We are unable to make changes to the service, and we do not have any way to contact the owner, even when removal requests are delayed.

So, we're supposed to give personal information to some intern or mod via an unsecure Google Docs form, and they then pass the message to the people behind PushShift? Why so many steps?

Edit: misspelled word.
