I would love to hear perspectives on the pros and cons of banning vs deleting spam accounts.

@baris is it possible to reverse an event?

I am only talking about moderator events...

Let's say, a mod mistakenly made an unwanted edit to a post, it looks like there is no way bringing back the post to the older version, but we can only visualize it through version history? Am I right?

NodeBB core doesn't have anything to prevent this. But plugins can be made to prevent multiple accounts from the same IP etc although it can be easily by passed.
