Why is there no "trash can" for BitcoinTalk members?

[Asiska02]

why isn't there a "trash bin" for users who sometimes have to delete their posts or delete them by mistake, so that they can be accessed later and either restored or permanently deleted?[/size][/color]

I believe your drafts section serves as your personal trash bin, as long as you preview them as you type, they are automatically saved as drafts which you can always reference later. You can post it again or leave it deleted. I make it a point of duty to always preview posts as I make them, that way I don't have to loose them, I can even access previous versions from the drafts section in case I am not liking my new modifications.

I don't see much need for that actually when we have tools to retrieve deleted posts on the forum.

The tools we have available in the forum to check deleted post is an external tool, which can only be accessed out of the forum. Having a trash can is really helpful and if embedded into the forum will really make a lot of sense. Not everyone remembers to preview their posts before publishing them and I don’t think we should even make that a necessity when we are sure of what we’re posting and done writing the content to be published. Having the draft section won’t do justice to what the trash can will.

Even if your posts got deleted by moderators, you can’t get to access them to even know the post or go through it to see reason why it was deleted. With a trash can, you can preview such post to know where the problem is and better yourself the next time when publishing a post. A draft section already in the forum does not do the best justice of having a trash can also and the purpose it will also serve.

I want to believe that you've really said my mind because those features on the Op's propose "TRASH CAN" is similarly to what the forum DRAFT may alternatively serve as even though it's not tagged as the TRASH CAN.
And for all, you can preview post before sent and it automatically stores in the likely Draft like a personal notepad feature in the forum which you can always delete anytime you want. So if the Draft can have these operations, then there shouldn't be a worry to create extension as the TRASH CAN. my opinion though.

The Forum drafts can store up to 100 drafted posts for a maximum of 7 days and it doesn't archive deleted posts and that's where the trashcan extension comes in for the end users who can't access the Forum Trashcan. They serve different purpose I'd say.

Thanks for telling, I actually haven't had that thought of revisiting my old draft posts to atleast notice if they still existed or it is on timely disappearing from the draft storage.
I also haven't capitalized on weighing the capacity of posts the Draft could store in the period of times also. If so, it's fine for the extension TRASH CAN if can be in the custom that it can also be reviewed by users without being restricted where after deleted.

There's a Trashcan and it's only visible and accessible to the mods but only the admin can restore deleted posts/threads on the forum.

At least, can achieve something from this discussion which I never had a clue about before now, the first is that the draft has the capacity to store up 100 posts and this can only last for a period of seven days, just as it was well explained by igebotz, I never knew of all these before, we keep learning here on the forum and in life.
