Per another thread, it appears Reddit is rapidly undeleting such posts.

  Sounds likely illegal if true.

    They definitely undeleted all mine this morning. Waiting to see if they come back again.

      In my experience Reddit seems to have various different cache/worker servers and it can takes a while for things to fully propagate. But they could be so overloaded the deletes are silently failing.

        Check out the other thread. It looks like they just globally zeroed their is_post_deleted column.

          Things I deleted are still [deleted]. Sounds like a bunch of FUD and rdrama.net trolling.

            Well, a decent number of people have been hit by it, from the looks of it. I just got to spend a bit of my morning re-deleting things. How much have you deleted, an odd post, or do you have an auto-deleter?
            • fluidcruft 3y ago
              I haven't deleted anything recently. Delete not working temporarily could just be denial of service or the scripts may not work anymore. Reddit made it a lot more difficult for autodelete scripts a while ago, it's not something new or some recent intervention.

                Are the posts you deleted currently still deleted? Were they deleted within the last 5ish years?
                • fluidcruft 3y ago
                  Yes. And yes. In fact I remembered a post I deleted two weeks ago and it's still gone.
                  • parrellel 3y ago
                    Ok, so it's definitely more complicated then a global flag change. I killed my posts manually and they were gone for at least a day and a half. So, undo deleted posts on any account that axed at least N posts in the last week? Something like that? Well, if the posts come back again, I guess I'll just get in an edit war with them. Disgusting behavior. Thanks for the data point! EDIT: Huh, so now about a dozen have come back. I wonder if they'll trickle back in, and what the thresholds are... I'm going to have to clear the account in batches of five or something aren't I.

                      Why bother?
                      • parrellel 3y ago
                        Spite mostly. Company's run by someone I hold in contempt, and they undid my small protest. So, I'll make it stick one way or another, delete the account, and never give them my time again. Like Epic, Honest T, or the state of Indiana. Worthy grudges all :D
