I'm in favor of the recycle bin on by default. As a former Vb user I never liked seeing the deleted posts in topic, seems like waste of space to me........

Recycle bin or inline moderation?
- recycle
- inline
- Don't care

Can you please elaborate, guys..?
And I'm willing to listen to everything, as long as someone finds an idea to fix the recycle bin forum ID problem...
(Which is only a problem when Pretty URLs are not enabled, obviously.)

That's exactly what SD does, it injects a fake board (and category if needed) with fake id and links back to the help desk instead of to a "board". No board is consumed, no board=x in the URL.

Well, if we leave the deleted stuff in place, excluding them in normal posts, and make them available through the mod centre... And create a virtual board for it like we do in SD, it's covered.
And technically Wedge could do that, because all it requires is an expansion in Subs-BoardIndex to expand the array.

I'm still for the addition of a tab that contains all deleted posts (visible only to whom has perms to view it). :)

...which is almost exactly what is now being suggested.

Yes, I meant a tab IN the topic (not in the header menu or in the moderation center), and if there are no deleted posts in that topic it's not displayed. :)

I voted for 'inline'. Because I like that format best.
As a Admin on 4 forums I don't want any deleted post going off to the red universe.
Sometimes when pissing matches start and people start deleting posts, the only way I can settle things is to review the deleted posts.

Sorry, but both functions seem not really something to be discuss because I don't find it relative in the script. (and the image is really cool and I wanted to use it)

Relative in the script?
Okay, from what I read, the most popular way of doing it would be to delete the recycle bin feature, use an extra flag for deleted posts, hide them from the original topic, and build a short and sweet interface to go through deleted posts, sorted by topic, and allow to delete them permanently. Am I right?

That's pretty much where we're at.
Thing is, whatever we do, someone isn't going to like it, and we will have to accept that. Mind you, the bulk of the concern as far as the short and sweet interface is concerned is about getting the context of the posts, so what the short and sweet interface needs to do is present the full thread with the deleted posts in the right places.

You can leave the possibility to create a board for recycled topics and add an option to use this new system.. or the contrary (new system by default but the possibility to use the old one).

There is no good reason to provide two totally different methods and interfaces for the same thing. That's not going to help users, it's going to confuse them even more.

I see no problem with going through what you described, Pete. You have my vote. I think it's the only way to make everyone happy :)
(I'd implement it with pleasure, and I probably will from the sound of it, but seriously have you seen my to-do-list? :P)
