A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

I figured. If websites like unddit, ceddit, removeddit etc was able to recover deleted posts and comments, I'm sure the admins can do so too.

But we're also a crafty bunch. There must be a way to destroy the sub where reddit can't restore it properly. Like how a user can mass edit their own comments/posts before deleting them, so when reddit restore them back they would only show the edits instead of the originals. Basically use reddit's own feature against them if we can.

Even small thing like getting rid of the megathread and wiki would discourage people to go into the sub. It's information that people after, if we get rid of those then there's no point in going anymore. Slower death and a little anticlimactic that way though.

As far as I know, they only store the last version on the live system. So if you just overwrite it with gibberish and then or don't delete it, only the backups will have your true comments.

I’m seeing recent comments that dispute this. Users who used power delete suite have discovered their comment history restored against their will

AFAIK all restored comments came from subs that went open again, because removal plugins can‘t remove comments and posts from private subs.

But at least the comments will be useless to the public coz people will only see the edited one right?
