Conspiracy theories are not considered valuable commentary here on HN, so ironically you may find your post flagged and remove by the community due to violating of this forum’s user and mod expectations.
“Can't assume this is being done in good faith as the comments leading The Donald to be quarantined could be edits, or shill accounts.”
Some mods were caught upvoting content forbidden by the Reddit participation guidelines, leading to the removal of said mods. Are those mods shill accounts? What evidence can you provide supporting that?
My post was not intended to be a conspiracy theory. The point I'm trying to make is that rewriting comments (or reassigning moderation teams) is worse than straight out deleting or banning...because the potential that people can be misled is there.
