Just been looking thought my trashcan and there are a couple of posts and threads that have been deleted by staff that I would like to restore.

Is it possible:

[*]to see who deleted the post/thread [*]force a reason for deletion comment [*]allow an admin (or approved group) to restore the post/thread back to where it came from (currently it looks like you have to move it back and therefore guess the location)

I'd like to have this one as well. I don't want my staff deleting posts or threads for no reason.

Not saying I'm opposed to this, but the moderation logs in the Admin CP should tell you who deleted it and from where.

Indeed they do. They tell you who deleted it, and where they deleted if from (topic and forum).

It would be nice if there was a restore post/topic option

true but then you cross reference all the time. It would be nice to see it at the time of reading the post/thread to keep it tidy. Plus the restore button feature

moderation logs in the Admin CP should tell you who deleted it and from where.

When it's deleted, add it to the log in View Topic History.

If it's removed, check the Moderator logs in ACP. Then just Move it back to the forum it was removed from.

Adding extra features for that would just make more work for something that is already simple.

view topic history doesn't tell you where the topic came from only when it was deleted, which leaves the mod logs to cross reference.

Why not only give them permission to set them invisable and not delete. Then you can make the final decision on whether they need deleting first.

Thats how it works on my forum, the person who makes it invisable puts a post up in the mods section to say its been done and the reason they think it needs to be deleted. And a final decision is made by the admin team.
