"Soft-delete" function
by Zohar » Sun Dec 12, 2010 6:42 am UTC
I wanted to delete a thread I made (it didn't have any replies). It asked me if I want to "soft-delete" it, I didn't have any other option that I noticed. So now the thread appears in a pinkish-hue and I'm pretty sure only mods and I can see it. But when does it get permanently deleted? Can I do that or is it something a mod has to do?

A mod will have to do it. This function was added to prevent accidental deletion, by either regular users or mods.

Can a soft-deleted thread/post be reported with the report function? And should it?

They can be reported, but I don't know why they'd need to be.

I'd venture that none of us are particularly interested in donning their coveralls and playing sanitation engineer.
