- skeaker 3y agoJust enable showdead if you want to see all of that. It's 99% botspam.
- krapp 3y agoThat would create one more thing for people here to complain about. People here would just accuse the mods of faking the mod log to hide their "real agenda" whatever that is.

- paulnpace 3y agoWikipedia can and does vaporize edits.
- formerly_proven 3y agoI don't think revdel can actually fully delete a revision, there's always at least a revision entry left, perhaps with no user name or summary.
- dang 3y agoThat would create a bureaucratic nightmare for no significant gain. Edit: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39234189 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39234189 for a longer answer; and also krapp's comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39232795 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39232795, which makes a similar point.
