Topic: Delete button?

Posted under General

What is the purpose of the delete button?

I opened one of my deleted images and i saw the delete button, and when pressing it it asked me to add a reason why to delete that post... So if a post is already deleted, why is there a delete button? O_o

Wild guess :

After being flagged for deletion, a post isn't completely deleted, only the picture is, it then is only accessible from deletion list or poster's profile.

Deletion button deletes it for real, leaving a 404 when trying to view this ID.

Not true. We have the ability to permanently flush out a deleted post from the system.
