Reply to comment by Jackamen1952 in [WP] Browsing r/writingprompts, you can’t help but to notice all of the prompts that appears to have at least 1 reply in addition to the AutoMod but are empty when you actually click on them. Puzzled, you decide to investigate the matter. by LeGoupil7

As it turns out, these "ghost comments" appear to all be comments that were posted then removed, which I assume to be because they were posted in error. You can even see that the comments were deleted (but you cannot see their content) with this nifty site.
