Damn, good one man. This is pretty suspicious. I can't even see a trail of how often a user has done this. Edit: they are still here with an account imo, admins can see the OP

Thanks. Yeah it's odd.

I looked through my top comments in the last year, just do a ctrl+f for "[deleted]" and I see 3-4 threads where the users have deleted the thread (or the username) where I left a comment. So thankfully it's not super common, but I do have to wonder what percent of saidit posts are later deleted soon after... and what percent of those are important stuff like the maxwell thing. It also makes saidit look like we didn't have a big discussion on it, when in fact we did. Definitely seems a bit fishy and strikes me as a weird form of censorship

or: just keep deleted posts in all of the feeds. it will have the content removed for non-admins as expected.

Sounds good. By 'the content' you mean the username and any selfpost text? Link posts would be unaffected (except username becoming [deleted]), I guess?

However it works out, as long as people can find the public comment sections later, I think that's the main deal.

Anyway, not a super pressing issue or anything, just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention. Back to celebrating new years :)

Yep, username and selfpost text would be gone. I'm just concerned that deleted posts being changed to be in search would not be enough. They are still effectively deleted unless you are highly motivated to find it.

I'm down for that.

Someone deleted a post yesterday and it still appeared on the "hot" list. So I think it's only the "top" list that's affected maybe? If you could just re-add them on "top" sort I think that'd solve most of the issue maybe

Nice, that's a good way to describe it
