Building a recurring monthly hygiene routine.

A one-time cleanup fixes today. But you'll keep posting, and a year from now you'll have a fresh year of history to worry about. The way out of that loop is to stop treating cleanup as an event and start treating it as maintenance - a routine that runs whether or not you remember it.

The best cleanup is the one you never have to remember to do.

On Pro, you can turn a filter into a standing rule. Save a filter - say, "anything older than 90 days" or a full recipe - and set it to run on a cadence. From then on, Karmdit applies that rule automatically, deleting new matches as they age into it. Your whitelist and preserve-gilded still apply, so protected items are never touched.

The other half of the routine keeps your picture current. A monthly re-scan re-fetches your full reachable history and refreshes everything - the audit totals, top subreddits, karma extremes, and the risk flags - so what you see reflects your account now, not the last time you looked.

Together they form a loop: the re-scan surfaces what's new, the auto-delete rule handles what matches, and you glance at it when you feel like it.

A routine most people are happy with:

• An age rule. Auto-delete anything older than 90 (or 180) days, so nothing quietly accumulates a long tail.
• A recipe rule. Re-run Pre-Interview Clean or Wipe NSFW monthly to catch new matches in those categories.
• The monthly re-scan on. So the dashboard is always current when you do check in.

Set it once. Adjust it twice a year, if that.

Automation should never feel like a runaway process. Every schedule can be paused, edited, or deleted in one click, and the whitelist means the items you care about are structurally safe from any rule you set.

The verification pass still runs on scheduled deletions too, so even the automatic cleanups get confirmed - you're not trading control for convenience, you're getting both.
