vB Recycle Bin Hack

IMPORTANT: ALTHOUGH I'VE TESTED IT ON A NEW INSTALL, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE THIS HACK MAY DO TO YOUR FORUM! I JUST CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH! ()


What does this hack do: This hack will move all threads users 'delete' to a forum, so it will act like a Recycle Bin. that's the basic idea.

Features:
-Only first post in thread will be recycled, 'normal' posts will still be fully deleted.
-Anyone with delete permissions can delete/recycle a post.
-Total deletion of a whole thread can only be performed by a admin.
-Recycle Bin forum can just be disabled for new posts, so it really acts like a sort of archive. (doesn't matter really, because the newthread & newreply images are gone in the recycle bin forum anyway)
-Admin CP options page, for easy recycle bin management.
-Restore function: users can restore their threads to the original location of the post.
-Users can place a 'deletion request', and if the admin thinks the reason is good, he/she can delete the thread (with one click ).
-Admin's can turn the Recycle Bin on and off
-Admin's can easily speicify the forum id of the forum that should be used as the Recycle Bin
-More probably


Installation:
Follow the instructions in install.txt that is included in the zip file.


Notes: I've tested this hack on a fresh install of 2.2.9, but it should also work on 2.2.x and 2.3.0, although i might not be able to give proper support for other versions than 2.2.9


Future additions-list:
-enable recycle bin on a per-forum basis (small addition, only if anyone really wants it)

I believe we must replace the newthreadlink and newreplylink with that varables.

Ive tested it and it works.

$recyclebinnewthread -  $recyclebinnewreply

Just wondering would it be possible to have it move the whole thread to the recycle bin?
