Cannot reproduce Deleted posts can still be seen in recent activity.

When i delete a post from public view it still shows to forum users if they look on that person profile under recent activity.
 
It should only appear to staff in the recent activity, and only if it was soft deleted instead of hard deleted, I believe.
 
Perhaps for staff, but non staff do not see that, as I said, some admins do not permanently delete anything other than spam.
 
I can't reproduce this.

When displaying any news feed item we run it through the expected permission checks. The relevant one in this case is canViewPostAndContainer which validates that the visitor can view the post, the thread and the forum the post is in.

Ultimately this checks whether a user has the viewDeleted moderator permission.

Therefore, if this report is accurate, either the affected users have that permission, or there is an add-on incorrectly overriding something somewhere.
