Zacs - No, Mods cannot reinstate posts or threads, only the Ed Team can do that.
Similarly, we cannot see deleted posts once they are removed, I saw the post earlier, and while I thought it flippant and insensitive, my role is not to remove it because it does not contravene
Site Rules.
Even if I could reinstate it, I would not, overruling another Mod's decision is again abuse of privilege.
