Soft Deleted Archive
 

If you have a forum where you disallow your Moderators to Hard Delete posts, you might want to look over exactly what posts they have deleted, in case of disputes between staff and members. But running a huge forum with hundreds of threads, this task can get tiring.
This is where the Soft Deleted Archive comes in handy!

Features:

• Seperate threads and posts
• Name and link to forum of the thread/post
• Username that posted the post
• Username that deleted the post
• Reason for deletion, if any were inputted
• Date of thread/post deletion
• For threads, link that takes you directly to the thread in question
• For posts, link that takes you directly to the post in question, for manual managing
• Limit the number of total entries to show per page
• Ability to choose Sorting Order (Ascending or Descending)
• Flagging Threads and Posts seperately
• Fully phrased
• Ability to Hard Delete selected threads/posts
• Ability to Restore selected threads/posts
• NO Code Modifications needed!
• More efficient forum counter rebuilding.

Screenshots attached.

Install instructions:

1. Click install (you want your precious support, don't you?).
2. Upload the files.
3. Import the Product XML file through your ACP.
4. Enjoy.

Nice one Revan :D

Nice Idea :)

Satan

Looks possibly useful.

I was thinking about something like this last night, but more in terms of the Reported Post plugin. When a thread is deleted, it gets move to a specified forum. When a post gets deleted, it gets moved to the same forum, starting a new thread.

Umm, any chance of release for 3.0.7 :).

Nice Revan, I will use this :)

Clicks install.

This really should come standard in vB :)

Awesome!!

I have over 500 soft-deleted posts on my board that I have been too lazy with my current hack to open individually to review/remove. This will be a gem when I go to 3.5 on my live site so that I can get rid of them all.

Installs with MUCH thanks. :)

Click me ;)
You didn't think I named it 3.0 in an attempt to keep up with vB versions now did you ;)

And thanks for the nice comments guys and girls, it's really appreciated :)

Have I said I loved you yet? 0_o....just to let you know :).
