    Does reddit allow any kind of content in direct messages? Why can’t they disable bots like that by deleting their accounts?

      Reddit recently got rid of their direct message system entirely in favor of their new ‘chat’ system, which overall sucks, but one advantage is you now don’t see messages by default and have the option to ‘ignore’ message requests instead of seeing their content. As for manual moderation, doubt that will ever happen since Reddit is a corporation that isn’t going to want to pay people for that kind of thing.
