inkredible Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi, I read about your upcoming feature which does make sense. I think it's pretty common that posts/user generated content is usually never deleted as space is so cheap nowadays. Is there a reason why you wouldn't offer a "never delete content" option? Edit 2: Why does this section/thread require approval? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Charles Posted March 16, 2017 Management Share Posted March 16, 2017 Wouldn't that be just "shut off delete permissions" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that you can still delete them but you can also restore them at any time. I checked your announcement thread again and apparently it shows these posts as "hidden". I thought they would disappear completely from the frontend (also for mods and admins) but you could restore them from the admincp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariAge Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'd also very much like the ability to retain deleted content indefinitely. This was a feature at some point in 3.x (the "Trashcan" forum), but was removed, much to my disappointment. It is extremely useful in many circumstances to retain this content so it can be viewed and/or restored if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want content deleted then shut off the delete permission I think we all were heading towards something else. Basically a "delete" flag for posts in the database and it should be treated exactly like deleted content (hidden content is still visible to admins and mods). Also if user delete content by theirselves we still want it to be stored indefinetely. At least that's what I was requesting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
