Actually, fun fact, we cannot delete posts -- they just get hidden. The mods can still see them, the regular users no longer can.

Actually, Sleeping Silence is correct. Mods can only hide posts so they can only be seen by management staff, they do not have the power to delete posts. This has been [i]confirmed[/i] by [i]staff.[/i]

i mean, it's still a form of deletion. better than leaving spam/troll posts there forever.

edit; it's actually a better idea than deleting entirely, because then at least they can restore a mistakenly "deleted" post. so yes, i accidentally spread "misinformation". sue me.
