I'm not really a fan of the naming of this feature. I realize that it's a simple phrase in ACP to edit but I still wanted to start a discussion about it and see what others think.
The problem, as I see it, is that content that has been deleted shouldn't be viewed as "hidden", it should be viewed as "deleted" - even if the content is in fact only hidden(e.g. soft-deleted or "deleted in-line").

Having it say that content is hidden decreases the severity of it and it almost feels like a feature that regular members would have access to.
So what could be a more suitable name? I don't know. I just feel that "hidden" sounds "not-deleted".

If a member posts something bad I want to delete it. Instead I now have to "hide" it? Should I send a message to the user in question, stating that his message "has been hidden"?

Soft-deletion was PERFECT(almost) and it really didn't lack many things at all. It allowed you to let users see soft-deletion notices aswell as letting them see soft-deleted content with the appropriate permissions. After this update, will I be able to let them see hidden notices? Not very hidden then?

To me, it sounds like you've started out with a great idea to simplify possible confusion between unapproved content and soft-deleted content by merging them into a "hide" content but couldn't really come up with a good name. IMO, go back to soft-delete and just remove the ability to unapprove content.

What are your thoughts?
