Deletions Are All Kablooie Today

May 4, 2007 10:28 AM

Are the deletions a bit wonky today? Some are showing up as the less uncommon scorched-earth-deletes (61928, 61950); some aren't appearing on the front page but have no deletion reason and appear open once you enter their thread (61932, 61936, 61942).

Discovered by use of the Mefi deleted posts Greasemonkey user script, in case it's at fault.

Hm. Data point: the latter three are all anonymous, making it unlikely that they'd be bona-fide deletions, unless the mods are disagreeing with each other.

Perhaps it's some new admin-side thing involving draft pre-approval anon posts or something ...

Okay. Never mind. At least two and probably more of these questions are posted. The Mefi Deleted Posts script is, I think, at fault. I'll try to figure why and post back. Ah, well, at least others who ran into the same problem won't make fools of themselves like I just did ...

The latter three aren't deleted. If it's all the same to you, I'll close this.
