Earlier yesterday a long time IMC poster sent through to the Tech, Features and Moderation lists a detailed, provable and comprehensive list of every IM post that had been edited or deleted from the newswire over the past three months. His list was dynamite, it showed who had done what, when it had been done and most importantly of all the old unedited or undeleted posts. We are not talking about posts or comments that are hidden but instead entire posts being removed from the servers and mirrors to ensure they could never be seen, comments being re-written to change their meaning or the users contact details to ensure they are cut off.

It seems such information would only have been accesable to an IM admin or techie so what happended next was incredible, as the information was about to go out to every subscriber on the three lists and could not be hidden any longer the lists were crashed and access denied to everybody while they were "sanitised" to prevent the info being seen.
