A record of delete threads?

[balidey]

I have noticed some threads have been deleted, and when trying to find them it involves trying to remember where they were, what the title was, then searching. Only to assume its been deleted.

So, would it be possible (or even sensible) to have a record of deleted threads? Then when i search for a post by, say, me, it goes to the 'deleted threads' section and I know that it has been deleted. And perhaps a reason, ie the 'sex tips' thread that went could look something like....

Sex Tips, thread started on blah blah, by blah blah, deleted by Custard ( ) on such and such date. reason: Got a bit rude.

oh yeah pick on me
the problem is its to do with permissions
eg i cant see deleted threads outwith my moderated sections

im guessing its not gonna be possible and TBH if a threads deleted rather than tidied then theres most likely a good reason.

majority of threads are not deleted just moved to the appropiate section.

I can't see this ever being a viable option, sorry.

 

[balidey]

OK, no bother, just thought I would ask. I often spend ages searching for posts / threads and when I can't find them I go onto all the other forums I use to see if I really saw it somewhere else :bang: and in the end I have to presume it was deleted.

Actually, WAS there a sex tips thread? if so, did I miss anything good?

Why not subscribe to interesting threads?

As far as the Sex Tips thread was concerned, Lolly got involved, and it went downhill soon after

if you are subscribed to a thread, what happens when it is deleted, are you notified or does it just vanish?

Not sure, because I can still see deleted threads

Ok, let's do a test - subscribe to this thread, and once you say so, I will delete.

subsribed

 

[arc]

okie kokie.

So after some testing.

If a subscribed thread is deleted it vanishes from CP - no notification, or email.
If a subscribed thread is moved back stage it vanishes from CP - no notification, or email.

But moving the thread back to public sections, or un-deleting it does reinstate the subscription.

Again tho, no notification of any of this via e-mail - despite having subscription mode set to 'instant email notification'

Back stage

Back stage

the bit where all the banned threads go before they die that only mods / admins can see

 

[volxstu]

I didnt think we talked about that stuff.

 

[arc]

every forum has a bit like that, so no need to be all secrective about it!

:yeahthat: Forum backstage areas aren't exactly top secret just their contents are.

As for Lolly, yeah I know she didn't post on it - but the others weren't to know that

 

[volxstu]

I really should make use of that backstage that was mentioned, where is it.

Hold that thought :devil:

:idea:Actually if you buy the forum or otherwise get yourself promoted to chief cook and bottle-washer (sorry for the yank phrase, but i am one) then you can see everything ever soft-deleted ever, way more than what you surely want.

 

[volxstu]

Yeah but most soft deletes have an expiry date so wont last for ever and yeah you have to be super/admin or owner to see all in all forums.
