While this currently exists as a site setting, it’d be nice if it could be done selectively, just on posts that need this protection.

This does pop up often enough to be a moderator feature we would like, community PR for it welcome.
Need to decide if data is nuked or simply hidden, if it is just hidden, can admins see it?

It’s my understanding that deleted posts are simply hidden and remain visible to admins. Is that correct?
I think this feature should follow suit.
