Steps to reproduce:

Create a log that shows the posts deleted by moderators and administrators for greater accountability. This should include threads from the support and discussion forums. Allow deletions to be reversed. Also create a log of deactivated users. Currently, there is no log of deletions or deactivations.

Deactivated user log is covered in Bug 907660: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=907660
I agree that a deletion log is needed for purposes of accountability, showing user whose post or thread was deactivated, moderator who deleted it and time of deletion, similar to the log for user deactivations described by Kadir in bug 907660 (allowing the thread or post deletion to be reversed would be an added bonus).

This is at least 3pts. But maybe we should stop and think about switching to logical deletes for our support forums data instead of doing this?

I guess you're asking Kadir ... or maybe Madalina?  Shouldn't you add "NeedInfo" to this bug?

Anyway, not knowing anything about logical deletions I googled it and found  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/378331/physical-vs-logical-soft-delete-of-database-record 

Would logical deletes allow post and thread deletions to be reversed?  That would be awesome ... and I rarely use that word!

Yeah, exactly!

I was mostly thinking out loud in that comment and hopefully it triggers some discussion and thinking :)
Q1 is over. Bring it on, Q2!
