Yesterday I tried to use the Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and self posts to F U u/spez on my 12 year old account. It failed and also resulted in me getting banned from a couple subreddits due to spam. Then I gave up and just deleted my entire comment and post history using the same script.

A lot of people might be doing something similar, which would spike the requests on their servers quite a bit.
