[...] but still, I wouldn't rule out another reversion.
RIP all the comments we made between the backup time and restoration time. Feels like an alternate universe just got snuffed out.
For those interested, I thought I'd be clever and search for keywords from a particular user which allowed me to mass delete posts 50 at a time (at request of the owner).
So although I was selecting individual posts from a user, the forum decided to delete the entire thread that contained that post. And I didn't realise this until someone posted that thread asking why their post count had dropped 5% or something.

Deleting posts that weren't unacceptable content, at best causes confusion, and if done in bulk for/by a single user smacks of "I'll take my ball and go home!". Obviously, given the tools you choose to make available to us users, you cant easily prevent users stripping their content from the forum, but if they want to be immature, at least let them have to do all the grunt work to do so rather than wasting your and Gnif's time.
IMHO when you post a message on a public forum, you are granting the forum the right to display the content you have created in perpetuity*. Once you hit [Post] or [Send] its out of your control.
* unless the forum offers users a more restrictive content creators license, granting the users more rights.

I do wonder though, what would happen if a member had reached 1000 posts and gained access to the supporters lounge but are now back under 1000 due to the glitch, do they still have access?
