XF 2.3 Function or addons to see last X messages that have been removed or soft deleted?

[TheLaw]

I'm constantly trying to improve spam management and it's easiest being able to see (1) how successfully my moderators have been performing and whether they have been tagging valid new posts; and (2) seeing keywords that would be useful to enter to prevent these posts from making it into the forum by entering them into spam management in the cpanel. I don't recall an option to find these messages easily. Can anyone remind me or suggest a path how this may be more easily possible?

I'm sure you have looked at the moderator logs? Thats the first place you should look.

Have a look at my add-on. It will list all soft deleted threads under the Moderator panel as well as in each individual forum. Admins and staff members can bulk manage them in both places.

Resource icon R

Soft deleted threads global and indivdual forums bulk management

It displays soft deleted threads in the moderator panel and on individual forums.

Yep, these are great. The only issue is no ease to see them all in one place and I have to go hunting to both places. Not the worst thing to do but it's just frustrating not to be able to just do a search to see the deleted threads from a certain date. Would seem like it would be there easily! Thanks as always.
