Will this get me banned from Reddit? +
Reddit Scout is designed around ban prevention, not around it. It only scans — it never auto-posts, never DMs on your behalf, and never touches Reddit's API. Every reply suggestion includes tips that follow Reddit's rules: value-first, no links in first contact, no copy-paste spam. The risk scoring system flags high-risk subs before you engage.
Does it need Reddit API access? +
No. Reddit Scout reads the page's DOM directly — the same way you see the posts in your browser. It never makes API calls to Reddit, has no OAuth login, and holds no Reddit credentials. This is also why it has minimal permissions in the Chrome Store.
What permissions does it need? +
Only 5: storage (to save your leads and keywords), alarms (to reset your daily quota at midnight), sidePanel (for the main UI), activeTab (to scan the current Reddit tab), and scripting (to inject the scanner). Host permissions: reddit.com only. No "read your browsing history," no broad host access.
Is the $29 really one-time? No subscription? +
Yes. $29, once, forever. You get a license key that activates unlimited scans in the extension itself — no server to go down, no recurring billing, no price increases for existing customers. The free tier (10 scans/day) never expires either.
Which subreddits does it work on? +
Any subreddit feed page on reddit.com or old.reddit.com. Popular hunting grounds include r/forhire, r/entrepreneur, r/smallbusiness, r/webdev, r/freelance, r/startups, and niche subs for your specific skill. The extension works on both new Reddit (shreddit) and old Reddit layouts.
What if it doesn't work for me? +
Email us at wushumaster75@gmail.com within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked. If Reddit changes their DOM structure and breaks the scanner, we'll push an update — you get all updates included in the one-time purchase.
