Hey guys, looks like banning people and removing posts permanently deletes the actual content from your server, making so that even a post that instantly gets reinstated is already dead. It looks like you don't know that, because otherwise nobody would have bothered reinstating the posts.
Name and shame, who's the one to blame? It's weeaboo time.
Thank you for this contructive comment. I hope admins will answer at some point.
Just for the record, the posts were in fact soft-deleted, something that OP and I can do as staff, as well as restoring posts. Indeed, I could be wrong, but it looks like only staff on the instance-runner level can actually perm-delete posts, i.e. even common admins can't do it.
The whole point of that is pretty clearly to err on the side of caution when deleting, even by post creators and staff. Which is why, like I think you're implying, it's such a disaster to have deleted all OP's image content over... seemingly nothing.
In any case, thanks for weighing in so strongly. We appreciate it!
