It's not rumors. I tried it last night and they're trickling back in slowly.

Edit: Looks like it's just from subs that were private and got unprivated. Those comments couldn't be deleted and end "reappearing".

Is it comments from subs that just came back from being dark?

You're right it looks like it is. Guess that's where the confusion is coming from.

Fair enough. I meant "rumours" in as much as I've not tried it myself yet so am not speaking from experience, rather than people making anything up. I don't doubt they're being shits with our data (likely because they're going to say it's THEIR data as per various clauses in the user agreement etc)
