Mod Name / Version: Recycle Bin Tip
Description: Well, most of you have probably worked with Microsoft Windows, and are familiar with how handy a recycle bin can be:
Create a forum named Recycle Bin. Admin and moderator access only. Now, when you have an 'iffy' thread or post which you're either not quite sure what do do with, or would like to get a second opinion on, you can move it there instead of deleting it.
This provides a very handy workspace out of the mainstream for you to work. It's also wise to set a delete time (say 14 days or so) to have the bin emptied automatically.
This also might be one to add to a suggestion to include by default with future releases of virgin threads installs.
As an added bonus it also provides an additional test area for forum headers and footers, before they go 'public'.
