Look at the modlog, over 1300 posts have been deleted over the past week or two.

Soime of the mods are being pretty overzealous, probably because they get paid to delete posts.

I don't think that's true. I remember theymos stating somewhere that they don't count towards your mod 'actions' (though handling the report of them likely will). I doubt it's down to a mod being 'over zealous' but you'd be surprised how many off topic spam, begging posts, newbs spamming their faucet refs and multiple bumps there is etc and all get reported. I reckon a good chunk of those deleted posts are for stuff like undeleted bumps. I've handled a large amount of them this month. As for this post that was deleted if someone reported it as unsubstantial I can totally see why they would remove it, but not all mods will check the rest of the replies for similar posts especially if they're not reported so I don't think a mod did anything wrong here though I can see why you're annoyed.
On most forums an administrator would never admit a comment was somewhat wrongfully removed. It is very nice to see a board that can say a small mistake was made. It is rare in today's world.
