If you recall, someone leaked screenshots of comments on the KotakuInAction2 subreddit that had been removed by the admins. You could see what those comments said even after the removal, because moderators can still see comments when they have been removed - even by the admins.

Today, a comment was not only filtered by the sitewide filter, but the admins later removed the comment, so that it will only appear as follows: "[ Removed by Reddit ]" even to moderators. Now, this is very strange.

This has in fact never before occurred on r/KiA2. The admins retroactively edited a comment by a user. The only time that I can recall this happening is when spez edited comments to attack T_D moderators instead of himself.

However, even those were still visible comments. This was a comment that no one would be able to see, as it was already filtered by the sitewide filter. Still, they decided to edit the contents and to permanently ban our single best user - SupremeReader.

Note that this happened even though we are private. And the link was filtered. There was no way anyone made them aware of the existence of this link. Meaning that they had an admin alert reporting any use of that link. The rabbit hole goes deep.

The end is nigh.
