Soft Deleting

Open neptuwunium opened this issue 10 years ago • 6 comments

This allows data to persist indefinitely in the system and allows for further investigation with resolved reports or reports pertaining to deleted content.

Soft deleting is marking the record as "deleted", in which it would be in a read-only state and not retrieved under normal circumstances.

We should probably check out paranoia for this.

We should, but it also requires us to rework the report system because it depends and defines a deleted column.

that's what we should do anyway.

paranoia is dead, long live discard!

We should really get back to this and implement this.

paranoia development resumed at ~some point in 2021~ the end of 2020.

Thought from @nilsding: What should happen to screen names when a user is soft deleted?
