We're re-evaluating all the headers IPB produces to make sure they're contextually relevant.

Excellent, thanks for that Matt... In that case, you might consider a '410 Gone' header for deleted, previously existing posts and threads.

Thanks for pointing out the code edit Matt.

Collin, the point is that you now can't have the trash forum hidden from view... if you hide it with permissions, a 403 header is produced instead of a 404... so you have to make the trash forum a public forum for it to throw a 404 for the topics within it. I've got around this by blocking the trash forum in robot.txt with the following wildcard...

Disallow: /*84-trash-can/$

Yes, it does indeed produce a 404 if it's made soft-delete... Thanks for pointing that out...
However, it should be made clear to legacy customers that if the trash can is hidden to guests (with permissions), the 403 will override the 404. This is why it wasn't working for me.

Thanks again.

Are you seriously worried about SEO on a deleted thread?  If it's important to your site.... why are you deleting it?

I can count on two hands how many threads I have deleted in the last year on my sites. (other than a spam thread here and there)
That's your forum. We keep ALL deleted threads and posts forever, as it's useful to use to have a record of IPs that abused our community. Also, difficult members that keep returning can often be identified by their posting style/grammatical errors etc etc... the point is, the previous trash can system DID have a purpose, and that was to serve the appropriate header for deleted content... serving the correct header information is really basic stuff and I should have to be explaining it in here.
