And I don't care as long as it please someone. :D
Can inlines be restored or...?

Yes, because I can't help but think there's something else we can do that's better.

Ok I went back to play around XF on my local...so there's is a undelete action option there...

Yep, I do like the looks of that ... :)

Grmpf... I like their "Deletion Type" UI.

Pete, if you want to vote for non-inline, you can still do it eh ;)

Plus, it's hard to determine common grounds based on half a dozen votes, see what I mean?

I am coming round to it but before we start implementing anything like it, I need to know what we're going to do with posts from users you're ignoring because right now, they're pretty similar stylistically.

Sorry guys, I'm not at home these days and I can't vote from my phone (wap2 template doesn't handle polls!).

I'd say rather than showing the whole post only show the subject and the poster's name in smalltext. Would be cool IMO.

That's what happens with posts from people you have on your ignore list. You get their name, no avatar, no poster info and the entire message is replaced with 'You are ignoring this person, click here to see what they said'.

Hence my concern because it looks pretty similar to inline deletion with what's been proposed.

Different backgrounds should do the trick really...
Something like,
Blue: unapproved
Gray: ignored
Red: deleted

OK, I'll buy that. (Then it's the themers' problem if they don't keep the style :niark:)

What we should do is mock up how it looks doing inline deletion that way (how XF does it, collapsing it down to a limited space rather than showing the full post, while moderated can show the full post)

We also need to determine if regular users see a "This comment was deleted by a moderator/by its author" (like on imdb.com for instance) or just don't see the message at all...
I'd vote for showing them, because then we can keep the same page numbering for topics. (i.e. as long as a post isn't completely deleted, the start variable will bring you to the exact same list of posts in a page.)

Yeah, I'd like that. Not only does it keep consistency in pages, it also provides some consistency to the discussion, I don't know how many times I saw discussions that got altered because a post was removed, changing how the remaining posts were read.

NB there should still be a permadelete that actually deletes posts too...

So... Do we agree on getting rid of the recycle bin? Or do you want to keep it (just not with a recycle board added by default...)

Permdel: do you mean alongside the regular Delete button, or as replacement for the Delete button when the post is in Deleted mode? Second one, right?

Did you have a look at my WarmWine BTW? What do you think? You can compare the two easily. I'm planning to set Warm as the default styling soon, so I'll need to have the child stylings be based upon Warm rather than Pastel... Is it okay or not? The main difference is in the padding in the header, as well as the menu font. (I think I prefer Verdana, when I compare the two... But I prefer Tahoma for the div that pops up.)

I also just noticed that WarmWine is buggy in IE6: the menu popups don't show at all... That's probably due to the shiv showing up in front of the actual popup. Uh >_<
