Deleting Visitor Message without leaving deletion message?

Is what you get when you delete a visitor's message, but is that really necessary?
When you decide to delete a VM you get the options Soft delete and Physically remove.

Soft Delete will allow the content to be restored later, whereas Physically Removing the content will permanently remove it from the database.

The way this is worded led me to think that when you choose soft delete, you will get the deletion message together with the possibility to restore the message, and when you choose physically remove the whole thing will be gone, but that is obviously not the case.

I suggest that when you choose to physically remove a message the whole thing will be as though it never existed.

I know this might seem unimportant, but aside from not having to read the very "interesting" deletion note (I mean, really, who cares if some random VM gets deleted? xD) would getting rid of those messages not save precious space?

Hard deletion is an exclusive permission of moderators. You can ask to a MOD/ADMIN to hard delete the ones you wish.

If any problem arises, many important informations could get easily deleted with hard deletion. In that case soft deletion is an assurance for forum security.
As for the space thingy I suppose that soft deleted VMs are deleted after X days.

Thank you for the reply
So even if I chose physically remove it is actually soft deleted?

Next suggestion: Why not hide that option from non-mods then so as to avoid confusion ?

Once you soft-delete them, they will disappear completely after a month, if I remember right.
