Automatic thread move when a user deletes a thread *Recycle Bin*

[Neo]

Thats what I have done.. ohh and dont forget to make it so that when posts are deleted they go there aswell

[David Bott]

This will be a great addition. I have already made a Deleated - Bad Threads area that I hav the mods move threads to...But it would be much, much better to use the delete. Not to mention...mods forget.

This would also go for any member that deletes. Insted of a delete...the thread is MOVED into forum X with a new post being added at the end that says who "deleted" it. (wish list...I will take what I can get at this time.)

Oh!!! And!!! If a person, mod, admin, or user does choose to do a delete of a thered...ask them why and add that at the end of the thread.

Sorry....Got on a roll and can really use this...but I am not coder.

Any movement on this hack or did I scare people away with the above?

WAKE UP!

This hack was never finished, which makes me very sad. Here's my situation:

Our first few forum solutions all had issues with posts being accidentally removed and did not allow us to recover those messages. Therefore, we decided from the get-go when we made the switch to vBulletin, that we would create a private forum to move all deleted posts and threads. Moderators do not have permission to delete threads or posts and instead must use the move threads or split threads options to move posts or threads into the appropriate private forum.

This works great for us, however adding a moderator to the super moderator group will allow them to delete messages without moving them, which is not something we want to do. We do want to let them ban abusive users, however. Basically, the only usergroup that should be able to remove posts or threads from the database, should be the administrators. Anyone else who uses a "delete" function, should ideally have the post(s) or thread(s) sent to this private forum.

Is there anyone out there who would be interested in creating this hack to work as I described above?

Thanks!
Paul

Bsed on what I've read here, this hack is not 100%, is that right or wrong?

I've read this thread thoroughly, and i believe that this is what the feature set required:

1> When Admins and mods delete threads via the Admin Options on threadview, they are moved to a restricted access forum named "Recycle Bin"

2> Once in that forum, Administrators have the right to permenently remove the thread from the site.

Am I correct in assuming that the recylcingbin.txt file in this thread is not done? I'd like to install it, but I would like to know if this is done through the standard interface, and not only through the moderators and administrator's panel...It would be too much of a hassle for my team.

Thanks in advance for any help here.
