Permanent deletion bug

Bug
8

I’m trying for a repro:

  • Admin A creates new topic, pins it globally (forever), and then closes it
  • Admin A then soft-deletes topic

  • Admin B finds this topic by accessing Admin A’s /deleted-posts list from their profile
  • Admin B attempts to permanently delete topic - receives a “You can not permanently delete this topic because there are other posts.” error
  • Admin B deletes ‘pin’ and ‘close’ small action posts
  • Admin B retries permanent delete - delete is succesful

  • However, Admin B now cannot access Admin A’s /deleted-posts, with an error of GET https://greedy.jammydodger.monster/posts/jammydodger/deleted?offset=0

Though Admin A and Admin C can still access Admin A’s /deleted-posts list. In the short term, @VincentAlse, could you use the secondary admin account to access the /deleted-posts list to find the other posts you wish to delete? Alternatively you could use a data-explorer query to identify them?
