Deleted Posts Auto set to Invisible Setting

[bryantq]

Hello.

I love the trashcan feature so that an audit trail is left for my moderators.

On that same token, i would love a setting that makes it so that all deleted posts are rather just set to invisible.

Why don't you just set them to invible then instead of deleting them?

Yes, as Michael said...There already a method in place for what your asking. Instead of selecting the Delete button, just multi-mod select your posts and choose to Set Invisible (Unapprove Post). For ease, you can skin your own unapprove button to your post menu bar.

I do like a similar feature to this from vBulletin, where "ghosts" of the posts are left behind telling you who deleted them, and allowing you to look at/restore them.

^Indeed. It will look like a normal thread, have "View" and "Manage" links, and will say "Thread deleted by: xxxx | Reason: yyyy"
