Here's one more: just like we have a trash can on the Windows desktop, it would be useful to have something similar on the forums for the Admin to use. Sometimes moderators erase good threads and people get angry, the Admin can't see WHY the thread has been erased, and worst of all there's no way to bring that post back if need be.
Why can't we have a "trash can" that collects deleted threads, and that only the admin can see (+moderators if the Admin allows so). This has to be a piece of cake in terms of coding because in effect you would be creating an invisible forum and erasing threads would simply equal moving them there.
