What do you do with the deleted posts?

I have seen admins who delete the posts permanently and some who move it to a non accessible are!
what do you do?
I believe deleting them permanently is good indeed. There is no point in keeping all those posts unless its special scenario!

What do you think and why?

If I delete posts they are gone for good. Archiving decent old threads is another thing though. I like to keep the old threads there just to reminisce about good times, and to even repost old topics so new people can engage in the discussion.

I am not talking about deleting old posts/topics. I would never do that.
The posts from spammers or some posts which violate the terms of the forum - these are the stuffs I am talking about. I see no harm on deleting them permanently!

I do delete these posts when i go online. My moderator takes care of it most of the time.

Whenever I delete a post, it heads to the ModeratorCP's Deleted Posts. They stay there for 9999999999 days, or until I delete them.

I just archive them to the archive forum and they get pruned there.

It depends,
Spam = permanent delete.
Posts that deserve to be preserved = Recycle bin.

i delete anything unwanted or needed, any new junk new members post rite away. it bugs me if i know theres one thread in my forum thats not archived properly, i like it clean

Spammers posts deserve to be and therefore will be deleted however any posts made by regular members that arent breaking rules are kept, in the staff area where they remain unseen unless otherwise needed

We don't get many non-spam posts that need deleting so to be honest, we don't really do much with our deleted posts. Although, I feel like setting up an 'Archive' section in our staff areas may be the way to go now. I may just go ahead and do that now..
