It's also worth noting that Discord did this for April Fools a few years ago. In less than a day they were reverting the change due to people no longer being able to use their product, so site owners ought to keep this in mind before forcing theme changes on users:
Sadly I'm now moving to coding my own forums for my community, as this is a necessary feature that isn't in XenForo. Sadly that's $140 + add-ons that are down the drain just for the lack of one necessary feature.
Hopefully, one day this will be added and I can come back to XenForo.
Although not the API, this topic may be useful to you:

No, it keeps it where it is. Although Moderators go through every so often as part of their duties manually moving deleted / dead threads into a hidden 'Trash' node.
I let my users soft-delete their own threads, in case they posted something by accident etc. But no-one (not even admins) have permissions to hard-delete.
Just to jump on the bandwagon with this one, this was a major feature that I've always wished XF2 had, the ability to use an external database for users. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/please-add-support-for-external-database-authentication.161321/
Hi there,
I have an external PHP site that I would like to integrate with XenForo.
It would be nice if XenForo could use the database that I already have (passwords stored with bcrypt), by being told which fields to lookup for certain functions.
For example, IPB (Invision) offers this...
@Tealk I had a go with that, and that plugin uses some assumptions on how the database is formatted. I recommend using https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/user_backend_sql_raw - However I didn't succeed with this one either sadly.
