Inline moderation, soft-deleted posts

[woody]

Affected version

2.3.7

I have a thread with a bunch of soft-deleted posts. Inline moderation is present for all the visible posts. That checkbox is NOT present for the soft-deleted posts unless you "Show..." that individual post.

If I click "select all", those posts are included, but there is no ability to select/un-select each individual soft-deleted post.

This makes Permanent deletion a huge chore.

Screen shot attached. Confirmed on my Dev site with no plugins installed, issue is still present.

can confirm this is how xenforo behaves at my end as well. deleting soft deleted posts is a hassle. they really need to make it an option under batch update threads feature. there is an addon from andy if you really want to get rid of all soft deleted posts.

i kind of preferred how ips(?) behaved at one point of time. soft deleted posts were automatically purged after x number of days. this was one of the things i had to get used to after migrating to xf more than a decade ago lol. still kind of annoying. i still make mistake while deleting posts frequently. accidentally hard deleting threads because i hard delete the first post of it.
