Removed Content pruner doesn't remove posts


Content that is flagged for deletion in the modCP is not being removed by the task if they are posts. I've got posts all the way back from February that are still in the modCP.

The task has code to permanently delete posts as well as topics. It does not delete "hidden" (or soft-deleted) content, only content that you actually clicked delete on the forums for. There is a per-cycle limit of 500 posts max.

If it's not working for you I recommend submitting a ticket.
Here's how you can tell if it's flagged for deletion

If it will be deleted by the task it has an icon indicating so. Otherwise it's just "hidden" and won't be automatically deleted (see the second post there).
