You are right, should notify baker.
Will do next time.
TBH, was stunned the moment i realized i hit the wrong button - then relieved to see the thread still there (OP baked with a dif ip). Very fortunate.
>re deletions
Most if not all deletions done by QR admins are now done using ban&delete with a 1minute ban (the minimum). This is so that anons can see what is deleted (only shows in ban log not board log). But Ban log is formatting differently, so it's hard to match the two.
When I did the deletion last night, it was a ban&delete.
Notified the BVs so they would be aware of the problem in hopes of avoiding a repeat.
