you can add to editpost_delete_start

but yeah inserting above code to editpost_delete_start should cover for both the soft and hard deletes

I'll stick with the way you are doing it then. I only want Admins to be able to hard delete on my site anyway, so we should be all set with your code. And thank you for posting it, sir.

Not to sound ignorant here, but how do I set it so only Admins can hard-delete posts and threads? I don't think I've ever bothered with that before, to tell you the truth, or I don't remember dealing with it, anyway.
