I just discovered it myself, pretty awesome feature.

The comment I saw deleted and was curious who the 3 downvotes were:

Turns out it was a spam comment:

Very cool we can still see what deleted comments said!

edit: it also tells you who the commenter was

Wait, we weren't supposed to be able to see that? I liked that feature. I hate seeing deleted comments!

Nope, that was a debug switch I forgot to turn off when I pushed the comment "details" feature.

What's the point of the delete button if you can see the content of deleted comments (especially if they contain illegal ToS violating content and spam)?

I hate seeing deleted comments, now I can read what was deleted. This is a huge gift from the site admins IMO. You cowards that delete your comments - even if you delete them we will still be able to see what you said if we dig a little!

Of course not, you fucking retard!

And now you snitched this right into the site admins' face. You deserve a special place in hell for this, moron.

Hey I thought it was a feature not a bug. I was just sharing.
