There's no way you or I could check, that I know of, not being a hacker and all... But I highly doubt that Dr. Bob's system is returning random answers each time it's used by the deputies and/or Dr. Bob.
Posts made by posters who are blocked are deleted because to leave them would reinforce that behavior. They can have the length of the block extended, but there is no other administrative step to be used for a behavior that has escalated past blocking.
On the other hand, objectionable content is a different matter. Apples and oranges. Dr. Bob has chosen not to try to establish a line between what would and what would not remain as far as deleting posts. It's hard enough to do that with civility decisions and be 100 percent consistent. He has explained his other reasons for not deleting posts elsewhere.
