I've recently received several emails about deleted posts - only I haven't posted here in years.
I think some posts are still worth reporting to moderators
[spam or low value posts] even if they are old posts, but for some reason the possibility of reporting old posts isn't really necessary. I think found one of the global moderator's answers about that when Ratimov created one of the threads about his report activity.
I hid the dust under the rug - it means I cleaned the apartmentReporting posts from 2018 in dead threads that have already been locked really isn't necessary. Sometimes it seems like people are going out of their way to find stuff to report. Posts that have been edited shouldn't be removed anyway as someone can just edit their post and then report it to try make sure it's fully deleted and people can try cover their tracks this way. There probably should be some sort of statue of limitations on certain stuff because posts in dead threads from years ago really isn't an issue. If you want to report stuff there's thousands of posts made a day by shitposters so it's not like you'll ever run out of stuff to do.
Has anyone else experienced old posts getting deleted?
Some other users may share the same fate as you, but I don't found them ask for what, at least for now.
