It's possible to view deleted RMB posts

Postby Afforess » Sat May 25, 2013 12:06 pm

I noticed it is possible to view posts that have been supressed by moderators or self-deleted. Is this intentional?

Self-Deleted post: http://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/po ... 791/show=1

Suppresed by a moderator: Self-Deleted post: http://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/po ... 341/show=1

If you remove the "/show=1" at the end of the url, you see the post as it is normally displayed on the RMB. The "show=1" flag is meant to show suppressed posts, but it also reveals self-deleted and moderator deleted posts too.

I am not complaining, I like the feature, I just want to check and make sure this is intentional.

I would assume not, this should probably be flagged for an admin.
EDIT: However, this may be for moderator benefit, when I add the show tag to a random post, nothing changes.

That describes pretty much every topic ever posted in NSG.

For the record, this bug was fixed back in May, right after it was reported here. I'm not sure why I didn't post that it was fixed, like I usually do. But it was.

I mention this as one could interpret a recent comment by Afforess as meaning it wasn't addressed:
