Duplicate check includes deleted posts

Bug
1

Steps to reproduce:

  1. You post a message in an incorrect topic.
  2. You delete the message.
  3. You post the same message in the correct topic.

Expected behavior: The post is sent.
Actual behavior: An error message that the post is too similar to a message recently posted

Are you talking about deleted post that are removed from the data base, deleted posts that are only visible to users allowed to see deleted posts or a post deleted by a user that is still visible as “(Post deleted by author)”?

In the last case the user could still restore their post after posting it a second time. That would render this measure against double posts ineffective.

I have also expirienced that I accidentially posted in the wrong topic, deleted my post and had to wait a few minutes before I was allowed to post it again. By default unique post min is set to 5 minutes. I think that’s an acceptable waiting time to benefit from a spam-free forum.

I am talking about a post deleted by the author. Maybe restrict this precaution to users with low TL?

Alternatively, one could run restoring a post against the same check.
