Deleted Posts - Who can see them?

[BstYet2Be]

This is a question that has come up quite frequently lately from some of our new members that I'd like to address:

As stated in Markablue's Infractions and Deletions post in the FAQ
Forum,

-- You are NOT being singled out - you're just unable to view any other member(s) deleted posts.

-- Orphaned posts - these are deleted because the post or post comments you quoted, or are responding to, has been deleted. This is in no way your fault. And, again, no one else sees this deleted orphaned post but you!

Think about it, have you EVER seen a deleted post within the forums besides your own?

If you have any other questions, comments or concerns regarding deletions, please DO post them.

If I delete my own post after posting it, does that still show up? Can Mods see it in its entirety or can they just see that I deleted a post?

Thanks.

We see it compressed and the notation that it is deleted (and any remarks you made when you deleted it). We have the option of popping it open and reading it in its' entirety.
