Does the SourceBOT soft-delete posts?

[IQAndreas]

I received the following PM from SourceBOT:

A post that you created has been removed:

================================================== ========================
Post ID: I purchased 1x TF2: Mann Co. Supply Crate Key from him via......
Thread: Aard's reputation thread
Reason: Your trade partner did not leave a counter-rep for this transaction. Contact them, then post a rep again.
================================================== ========================

He actually did leave counter-rep: IQAndreas' +REP Repository

However, upon further inspection of the FAQ, I now see why the +REP I left was "invalid".

I have made a Rep Thread now, and was wondering, when the SoruceBOT deletes posts, does it permanently delete them, or soft delete them? I will send Aard a message and ask him to reply to my SourceOP Rep thread, and after he has done so, is it possible to recover the post I wrote in his Rep thread? I could re-write it, but it was over a week ago, and I can't remember the exact amounts, nor exactly what made the transaction with him stick out above others or how I worded it.

Can you provide screenshots:
a) showing your inventory history for the day of transaction
b) showing details of the PayPal transaction

Please take those screenshots from Steam client (for inventory history) and web browser (for details of the PayPal transaction). Please do not crop or edit them.
