FYI: if the issue is using a bot to delete as some speculate, you can sort your comments by top and delete those manually. Those are highest visibility.
Those were the posts that I deleted first manually, and they were among the posts that reappeared. I think I'll wait for a couple weeks to see if anything pops back up, then I'll send them an email to request they delete everything (just to make sure they delete data from their backups too).
I deleted my top posts manually a week ago and they haven't popped back up so I wonder if it is because people are using bots.
Someone who have done it manually are reporting undeletes, while I used the API (like a bot) but haven't had this issue. (I did overwrite first and then delete, however.)
PDS automatically looks for everything in your new, top, controversial, and hot. Hot seems to be limited to 200 i think??? so the max you could get in theory is 3200, but what I found is that many entries show up in multiple places, unfortunately.
I modified one of the bots (using API key) to do the same thing and got a few hundred more comments overwritten that way.
I plan to replace all of my comments with useless nonsense or whatever (as if they aren’t already); have there been any reports of comments being restored from that?
