Moderators have changed the CSS (stylesheets), so that there is no trace of the comments they or others delete; even the children of deleted comments are un-indented to hide the fact they were replies to the deleted comment. Here is the CSS they added:
body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.comment:nth-child(1) .deleted.comment:not(.collapsed)>.entry,body:not (.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.comment:nth-child(1) .deleted.comment:not(.collapsed)>.midcol,body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.deleted.comment:not(.collapsed):nth-child(1)>.entry,body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.deleted.comment:not(.collapsed):nth-child(1)>.midcol,body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.comment:nth-child(3) .deleted.comment:not(.collapsed)>.entry,body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.comment:nth-child(3) .deleted.comment:not(.collapsed)>.midcol,body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.deleted.comment:not(.collapsed):nth-child(3)>.entry,body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.deleted.comment:not(.collapsed):nth-child(3)>.midcol,body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.comment:nth-child(5) .deleted.comment:not(.collapsed)>.entry,body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.comment:nth-child(5) .deleted.comment:not(.collapsed)>.midcol,body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.deleted.comment:not(.collapsed):nth-child(5)>.entry,body:not(.moderator) .commentarea>.sitetable>.deleted.comment:not(.collapsed):nth-child(5)>.midcol{
