It is MUCH easier for other mods/admin to review a thread, rather than they run around searching for it, as the search function does NOT work on "deleted" threads, but it does on sin binned ones.
There seems to be a HUGE misunderstanding here.
WESTY: If your topics/posts disappear, they SHOULD be in the sin bin 100% of the time, not DELETED, there is a difference. That still means that you wont see them in a search.
