As in, a way to change how the delete system works? At the moment, if they can fully delete posts, it's gone for good. How about it so that mods can only move it to another database table which can then be purged or deleted by admin? I can't just use soft delete, because there are jerks who need posts permanetly gone...

Never mind, I had better idea for this. How about a far better, permission override system like:

Mark a topic as admin so one these options can be set:

Can edit post: Admin, Lead Mod, Mod, Topic Creator, User

Can delete post (soft delete): Admin, Lead Mod, Mod, Topic Creator, User

Can permently delete post: Admin, Lead Mod, Mod, Topic Creator, User

Can Soft Delete topic: Admin, Lead Mod, Mod, Topic Creator, User

Can fully delete topic: Admin, Lead Mod, Mod, Topic Creator, User

Anyone below permissions trying mod actions gets a permission error.

people generally don't make mods unless one of two conditions are met:
1. its marketable
2. they need it themselves

what you're asking for is somewhat complicated and uncommon, so unless there's a sudden high demand for it, don't expect someone to just release something like that.

1. It could be. Unlike say; the four billion mods about adsense which do the same thing as each other. Besides, I know quite a few which weren't exactly popular or marketable, and released on requests here.

2. If I could code it myself, I would have. I still sadly suck at PHP/server side scripting languages.
