The new feature that lets you see why messages were deleted, annoys me. It makes *threads*... look well... hideous. While it would be nice to know why SOME messages were deleted, it is quite annoying. People DELETE their messages for a reason. That is just my thought.. but yeah..

One good reason that it should stay is because people delete their post when the same person posted before and after them. With the new deletion system, they won't be reported for double posting. It doesn't matter if it looks ugly, it's efficient and handy so people won't get in trouble for reasons that someone else caused.

If the function was indeed at hand then that would defeat the purpose of having it in a way. The people that toggle it off might report someone for double posting when actually there was a post in between. With the function toggled on, they could see that there was a post there and ignore it. If it was toggled off, some might report the user for double posting. It's better to just always have it on and just ignore it if you don't like it.

Wait wait, just to clarify, you aren't talking about the deleted threads, are you? O.o You're supposed to only be able to see deleted posts inside of threads. @[email protected]

No, it's about messages. In other words, posts.
