Out of curiosity, what kind of "nonmalicious but unwelcomed" scraping?
As a 10 year redditor, that really frustrates me, since I can't go back and see my early posts any more.

I'd much rather they let you get your own history out and then make it impossible to get said history for anyone else (unless that person chooses to allow it).
To the first part: I would characterize certain scraping, usually behind an authentication wall, as malicious--though admittedly that's not the right word. An example would be scraping Facebook profiles to build a marketing list.
So, by 'non malicious,' i mostly mean 'publicly available data'
