Hello

I know that there is an option to prevent mods from physically deleting a post/thread, but what about a better idea;

Force a timer on the physical deletions.

Basically, I physically remove a post, it will take i.e. 24 hours (being in the state of soft delete) before it actually gets physically deleted.
Time can range from hours to days to weeks.

Is there a plugin or something like that?

regards

Most of us never want to physically delete posts, so unfortunately there is not a MOD like that -- that I know of. However, it should be possible to physically delete soft-deleted threads/posts via a scheduled task, but I would have to look into it.

That's sound like an idea, but I still want to have both options;
soft delete, which stays like that forever
and
hard delete, which stays soft delete until timer makes it hard delete.

Example of a timer already there;
The move thread with redirect timer.
