Moderators and deleted messages section

Just a suggestion which I would find useful.

If you have a few moderators on your board, it would be great to see what they're deleting to find whether what they're removing is actually the right decision or what the offending post actually was.

It would be great to have all deleted messages by moderators be moved to a special section of the forum accessible to forum administrators only. Administrators can choose to leave it there, purge them from the system at their own discretion, or if they decide, to move it back to the forum. All this can be done without any change to what moderators or normal members would see.

Another option is to tell your moderators to hide posts and topics instead of deleting them. They are then only available to admin and mods and the admin can then decide at a later date to delete them.

Probably the simplest option is to redirect the delete post/topic options to the hide post/topic file instead so that the posts get hidden instead of deleted.
