the delete event is the trigger thier automation uses, they can't trigger on the edit event as there are too many legit uses of it. However undeleting by default for a time period is easier and will result in less tickets.
don't delete, just edit.
They definitely do, I've experienced it firsthand: I mass edited all my comments to "[deleted]" and many of them got edited back within 2-3 days. There are some reasonable explanations about buggy caches, but that's a really convenient bug for Reddit right now.
ask yourself, hard hard is it to regex the word "deleted"
there is a reason i dumped paragraphs.
