Ok so when you are in a thread and you want to delete the whole thread...
You go on :
Administrative -> Delete thread -> 'Soft Delete'
When a moderator go back in the thread (example : via a report post) he doesn't see that the thread is already deleted or not.
I tought your mod made the 1st post colored so my moderators can know if an other soft deleted the thread.
So that's not in forumdisplay coz in forum display there is already a grey color and a "no entry sign"
The intersting for my moderators is a color or a sign in the first post of a soft deleted thread.
(sorry for my bad english

)
