    I've checked that thread too.

    Deleted post were off topic. Nothing of vital importance for the discussion.

    It's been explained in this thread that 'soft' deletion means that posts are still available in the database, i.e. it's possible that they could be restored if:
    1. Deletion was accidental
    2. Other moderators, supermoderator or administrator hold different opinion about deleted post(s) (Restored after moderator who deleted post(s) have been consulted)
    3. Members think that deletion was unfounded (after revision, super moderator or administrator could restore post(s))
    3. Server has been restored due some technical issues

    Anyway, posts are mostly deleted with reason. They're mostly off topic, offensive, inane, insulting, etc.

    This is extract form the SciForums rules:

    Plus plagiarism, repeated posts and threads, etc.

    Therefore, nothing unfounded.

    Physically removed posts cannot be restored.
