Removing and deleting a thread (using the normal menu) does not remove it from being publicly accessible, and never has.


 * Edit: here's an example.

An admin has always been required to fully delete threads, and most admins probably don't even know how to do that. (Of course, most users don't know how to view soft-deleted threads, but if it were my identity, I would not want to risk it.)

(I've been reporting "Threads marked as deleted are publicly accessible" to Wikia staff for a very long time, but it has still not been fixed.)

As it says in the post
 * Regular users can - Remove, restore, close and reopen threads on their own Message Wall

If a spammer posts something on your wall, you can still remove it.

Admins are intended to have all the abilities of moderator, and to grant/remove the moderator right. (This should be fixed now, if not, report it.)
