Trace Deleted Harassing Redditor -- 2
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m dealing with a now-deleted Reddit account that has been sending harassing messages to my small team. I already tracked down a few hints from earlier conversations, so I know roughly which months the user was active, but the original username and most of the content are gone.
Your task is to surface any remaining traces of the person’s posts or comments and package them so I can pass the information to the appropriate authorities and finally shut this down.
Where to dig
I expect useful remnants to be scattered across Google’s cache, third-party Reddit archives, and the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. If you also lean on Pushshift, Ceddit mirrors, or other OSINT resources, that’s perfectly fine—as long as the results are verifiable.
What I can supply
• The approximate months when the harassment occurred
• Links to the few threads still showing partial evidence
• Context around the subreddits involved
What I cannot supply
• Reliable keywords or phrases—the user was deliberately vague—so creative search techniques will be essential.
Deliverables (all must be met)
1. A spreadsheet or similar document listing every recovered post or comment: date, permalink, cached link, and screenshot.
2. A short narrative explaining any patterns that point to the same individual (e.g., reused phrases, cross-posted images, identical timestamps).
3. Recommendations on preserving this evidence so it remains accessible even if caches expire.
I value clear communication: let me know early if additional information would sharpen the search. Experience with digital forensics or OSINT on Reddit will stand out.
