The only thing that is supposed to go into the trash is real trash anyway. Like here if you notice some threads got off track and where closed. They aren't trash. Most major forums the trash is private as it's the same thing as 'deleting it'. That's the case here. The way ABII works is it's built on data permanence or "Nothing is ever deleted". While yes we can delete it from the DB, the code still prefers to have everything there. That also means everything is still on the record if you guys run into an issue with staff as well, since nothing is deleted. It's a two way street.
