Bardfinn has apparently opened up his Twitter account again, because he definitely wants everyone to read how he was trained to be a spy in highschool, so for those of you who were asking about his database and how do we know if this is true, here is the thread where Bardfinn himself posted about a dozen screenshots of himself in the process of tagging hapless Redditors on various subreddits to add them to his database:

As I explained in this earlier post (definitely read this in full if you're wondering "How Does He Do This?"), Bardfinn uses a number of different tagging browser plug-ins simultaneously that he has synchronized to work in concert, including Masstagger, RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) and Shinigari Eyes. When Bardfinn tags someone, that Redditor goes into his private database, but they're also tagged (with a slight delay) on all these other browser add-ons that are used by others besides Bardfinn himself. Masstagger for example is supposedly used by 35,000 other Redditors who are themselves tagging people left and right just like Bardfinn does; see it as a kind of crowdsourced witchhunting and $cient0l0g!-style freegaming of intellectual enemies online.
For those of you who don't know what you're looking at here, let me bring up that screengrab again and explain what's happening in that shot:

First thing to keep in mind is that Bardfinn is using acronyms for wrongthink subreddits. Presumably so he can display multiple wrongthink subs that a Redditor is subscribed to without crowding the line, or because he's a just snowflake who is triggered by the mere sight of a wrongthink subreddit's name (think of the way he refuses to spell out the name "KiwiFarms" and has banned others for spelling it out). (Speaking of troons obsessed with milgov and intel, it reminds me of the way Wikileaks had to write a script unfolding all the acronyms in the war logs they had received from Manning.)
Now look at the first user at the very top, /u/kai_wulf who commented "What makes them real women?". Look at the red ribbon next to their alias.
You can see that he's placed an exclamation sign ! at the beginning of the tag.
The tag then states that this Redditor is classified under "SWR1-I/V". This acronym at the beginning of the tag is usually a subreddit, though in this particular case "SWR 1" stands for "Site Wide Rule 1", suggesting that Bardfinn has already reported this particular user to Reddit Admins for a SWR 1 violation.
This is Site Wide Rule 1:
Here is an example of a post where Bardfinn uses that same acronym from the tag, "SWR 1 I/V", in the title of the post:
Next to that, Bardfinn describes the kind of wrongthink committed: "Transmisic/harasser".
Now look at the response to /u/kai_wulf by Redditor /u/Iflookinglikingmove
As you can see this Redditor has not just one but two tags behind their alias. The first ribbon is the same as the one above(SWR 1-I/V, or an account that he has likely reported to Admins for a Site Wide Rule 1 violation), but next to that is another ribbon, in a different colour, that announces that this Redditor is an "/r/mgtow user".
Then we get to the third Redditor, /u/Thomastheslav. This one has a different tag behind their name, announcing that they are classified under "PoMoCons" - which I guess stands for Post Modern Conservatives - with a globe next to it. I don't know what purpose of the globe is, I am guessing it's like a dingbat that Bardfinn uses to easily pick out a tag at a glance, so he doesn't have to actually read what kind of tag he's attached to someone. Behind the classification, again, is the kind of wrongthink committed: "Transmisic harasser". Next to that you can see, on the lower right corner, a pop-up window where Bardfinn is busy tagging /u/Thomastheslav.
This is what Bardfinn basically does all day on Reddit. He goes into a wrongthink subreddit, or a specific thread where wrongthink is being committed, and he tags everyone participating there one by one.
So, the next time you see Bardfinn responding to some hapless Redditor (who made the mistake of trying to challenge him) saying: "And you get a tag", just point them to this post so they will learn what Bardfinn actually means when he says that.
And again, if you are one of the Redditors in this unredacted screengrab, go ahead and report Bardfinn under the new rule change that makes him actionable for off-site activity.

This is Site Wide Rule 1:
Rule 1: Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

Here is an example of a post where Bardfinn uses that same acronym from the tag, "SWR 1 I/V", in the title of the post:
/r/averageredditor spews hatred of transgender people in ~300 comment post; at least 35 comments (12%) directly violate SWR1-I/V, Much of the rest when read in context also violate Sitewide Rules
Next to that, Bardfinn describes the kind of wrongthink committed: "Transmisic/harasser".
