Hi!

Sometimes, a comment is deleted by a mod, and I’d like to see what it said without having to dig it manually.

For multiple reasons:

  • To keep mods accountable: We have seen mods abusing their power on some communities.
  • To understand context when reading replies of deleted comments.

Now, of course they shouldn’t simply show in the UI, it should show as deleted, but I could see an option to retrieve it from the “three dots” menu.

Thanks for the app!

    Why bother removing it at all?

      You answered a question with a question. My point of giving the user a choice still stands. The information is already available, it just makes it easier for people to consume if desired. No where in there did I say it should be the default either.
