Assuming the ban page hasn't been messed with, that means whoever removed the post did it with Q's password.
Assuming Q was smart enough to have separate passwords for his tripcode and his private board, that would mean that any potential hacker would have to crack two separate passwords in order to pretend to be Q.

I'm fucking tired of your fucking Bullshit!!!!
I DONT plagiarize!!!! EVER!!!....So fucking stop with your Fucking lies you fucking Piece Of Shit....It's enough now!!!!!!!!!!
STOP with your fucking accusations...!!!!
Stop with your Fucking condescending 'village' and 'Pal' comments...It's fucking enough!!!!, You have been like this for fucking months....GET A FUCKING LIFE!!!!!!!!
A trip code is generated and applied to a post, the password forms a part of it.
If someone managed to funge the salt so that 'their' password generated the same tripcode (i.e. so they could post as Q with a 'valid' tripcode) then that does not mean they have the actual password that Q used to post with so could not access the board admin features as Q.
It's possible that someone cracked the password and so could post as Q (assuming Q's tripcode was whitelisted from salt changes), but as Perky (I love that nickname) has pointed out, Q would have had to have used the same password for the board admin as their posts in order for them to be able to both post as Q and to delete a post (which is an admin feature).
Since we all believe Q to be heavily involved in the intelligence community, I very much doubt they would use the same password for both.
I follow the logic, very nice. However, I'm failing to see the conclusion.
Being that anyone having posted and deleted would have to have both passwords, Aare you supporting the proposition it is more likely to be authentic, or just providing logical conclusions?
A fair observation, I've made a few posts and I don't always put my conclusion as I forget :)
I'm of the opinion that it is likely a genuine Q-drop, but I'm keeping my powder dry until I see some kind of zero delta to prove that the trip code has not been compromised.
Until then, proceed with caution, but proceed :)
PS - I should have said a zero delta based on a drop with the trip-code, not an unsubstantiated one.
Completely depends on who the board owner is. If thats not Q, and it is Watkins. Then it was Watkins who did it. And that means the possibility that Watkins was posting as Q is still a very real possibility.
Anon boards aren't that sophisticated. They are rather byzantine in their designs, be it looks- or features-wise. You get an "alias" box you should probably leave empty, a "tripcode password" box, a "Text" box, a "Post" button, and a red cross button to close the "comment" subframe without posting, and sometimes additional details (like a flag drop-down menu on /pol/ that will show on your posts.)
I'm not that concerned about a single character signature lacking at the end of a post. Might raise an eyebrow, might be evidence of impersonation among others, but that's feeble evidence in the face of strong cryptographic authentication like a tripcode.
However due to Q being a high-profile "individual", due to his long absence, due to his style of actually putting "Q" at the end and it's missing in the last drop, well, even the tripcode should be doubted.
For all I know, someone broke the tripcode cryptographic security using a quantum computer, those things are very well-suited at breaking things that would take thousands of years for the best classical supercomputers. It's public knowledge those are not stable enough to achieve breaking things like RSA yet, or the banking system would have shut down already... Or are they?

Seems like this person has a hard on for you purkiss.
He's a condescending POS who follows me around "Supporting" me...so he says....But excuse my language,but he's a cunt!!!!
Check his post history. If it is nothing but garbage and arguments, he's a shill. Deport and block
Not very nice perky
simmer down pal...
"No need to be so defensive" is what people say when they have no argument.
It's not debate.
👍👌😉
I am wondering what could have been plagiarized. Or even if it was, why it would have importance on the.message?
He's just a dick who looks for reactions.....
No sir, I asked a legit question.
Holy fucking slide.
A trip code is generated and applied to a post, the password forms a part of it.
If someone managed to funge the salt so that 'their' password generated the same tripcode (i.e. so they could post as Q with a 'valid' tripcode) then that does not mean they have the actual password that Q used to post with so could not access the board admin features as Q.

Since we all believe Q to be heavily involved in the intelligence community, I very much doubt they would use the same password for both.
I hope that makes sense.

I saw this in notables the other day. Thanks for posting it. Saved!
So quick question, why doesn't the post text have Q at the end? Or is it a signature and therefore stored elsewhere?
I'm not a poster there, so don't even know if they have signatures.

Good sense, thanks for the info.
