I just logged in and checked my reddit account, and all my deleted posts have come back.

Except they're also apparently restoring even edited posts and comments.

I scrubbed two accounts on the 13th, and they're both back with the original posts as of this morning the 16th.

Hmmm, not to be an apologist, but I wonder if this isn't a data set integrity problem on reddits end. I reran PowerDeleteSuite, and it "acted funny" through the process.

When I checked my profile again, some posts were edited, and others were not. As I was paging through and manually editing the misses, the list of pages got shorder and shorter.

Perhaps a cache flush? I'm not saying put away the pitchforks here, just... This is weird.

Wouldn't be the first time reddit's backend went to total shit lol

I will add that I periodically purge my account and this is the first time this has happened. Of course, this could be that it's because a bunch of people are purging their accounts right now.
