Title: If a user deletes their entire posting history
Post by: bitjoin on September 29, 2017, 11:39:23 AM
If a user deletes their entire posting history can it be retrived in anyway? just wondering because karpeles magicaltux has just deleted his whole reddit history in the last 24 hours.  If he does the same at bitcointalk is it gone forever ?

I know this isn't help for reddit either but anyone know how to get his deleted post history on reddit?

Well here on bitcointalk I guess the only method would be to either quote that post or reply when you see it and think you need it later.
Or use one of the services on the internet which saves the whole page as a reference for future use.

Like this one for example : https://archive.org/web/

I've used it a couple of times here when I gave some spammers/useless posters red trust and I was sure that the thread was going to be deleted so I saved it and included it for everyone to see after it.

Ok thanks, that site does archive a few posts but not all which is a shame.  I have taken screenshots of his entire post history at bitcointalk now anyway so he can do what he likes.  Its whats been said recent on reddit which was more important though.

Is that account MagicalTux (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2134)? Last online today, last post in 2013. Is the account banned, and if so, can banned users still delete posts?

His post history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2134;sa=showPosts) is only 31 pages, that wouldn't be too much work to add to archive.is (which unfortunately doesn't work at the moment) to conserve it for future reference. But if he deletes his posts, it'll be much harder to find back archived data than just reading a thread here.

bitcointa.lk used to mirror all the posts here, but it appears to have died a while ago.

Yeah thats him and i've got all his posts logged now, his reddit stuff is gone forever though since he probably edited posts before deleting so means reddit stuff gone forever i heard.
