Permanent deletion is limited to myself (and I don't use it)
Everything else falls into a category of "soft" delete. These are always recoverable. The user should be able to see their own pending posts as "pending approval" and not see them as just gone.
It looks deleted to you because you have partial permissions to view it. This is a bug with the forum software that I need to report but simply have not had the bandwidth to report and follow up on.
I absolutely understand this can cause friction for new users and also frustration that you can't help them.
With that said:
@ryans Possibly.
Right now you (and KM and others) are part of a group that is automatically assigned to you.
I don't want to provision potentially destructive permissions automatically.
However, this is something to look into and maybe something can be implemented to bridge this. And taking into consideration JTL 's input on that.
Edit: I have created a bug report on this behavior. Hopefully this can go into motion and possibly be resolved in a reasonable timeline now 🙂
