It's a good idea. But this would no longer work now that Reddit hides post history, right? Or does the API still provide a user's post history?

You'd basically need to be pulling all the data for all the subreddits, and then recreate a user's partial post/comment history from that.

It's hidden for users who opt in (not all spambots do, believe it or not) but there are some 3rd party databases that index comments- no idea how complete they are

Ah, I thought it was opt-out and hidden by default now. (For new accounts, that is)
