The reason we’ve got it set up that way is that we’ve set edit histories as publicly visible. So if we have a grace period then even if someone deletes their post, others will still be able to see the post that they’ve deleted.

If there’s another way to prevent others from seeing those deleted posts without having immediate deletion switched on, I’d be happy to use it.
