I didn't know that locking posts removes them from your history. But I do know that you guys delete posts. You want my proof? 

The 2020 election took place on November 3rd 2020. It is convenient that a site like this, which logs every second of the election night, deleted every single post from November 3rd - November 5th. Locked: The US Politics |OT| Page 456 to Page 457. Tell me you don't delete posts without telling me you don't delete posts. 

There was a hack a few years ago, that deleted years worth of comments from most of the moderators, and several of the biggest site users. 

It broke numerous threads, and that's why that thread got replaced.

Moderators don't even have the ability to delete posts, unless we similarly got emboldened to hack the website. A few admins can delete posts if they go directly to the database, but it tends to break things. Lots of links to posts and threads were broken, and it's been a huge frustration.
