As far as I know, it is a forum where all the 'deleted' topics go. I saw it in the 'topics since last visit' after I reported some spam. What is it?

I'm pretty sure you're right, that's where all deleted topics go. The ST doesn't want to get rid of it permanently, in case they could refer to it if a similar problem arises. So they are removed from view, and put in the dustbin. I am 75% sure I'm right about that, so another opinion would still be helpful.

It's for evidence for spamming if the need arises and that post is dustbinned. You're right, sonicfan12p.

Is there any way a normal scratcher can access the dustbin?

Nope. These forums, I'm sure, use FluxBB, and I've used it before, so I know there's a way to block a certain user group from even viewing the forum. So even if a moderator linked to it (Doubt they would, this is just an example. tongue ). If you clicked it, you'd get some kind of error.

Thanks for all your help, but I would like a moderator or a ST member to confirm.

Yep - most of the people on this thread are right. The dustbin is just a forum we moderators use to move topics or posts to if there is inappropriate or questionable content. This way if there's a thread that we decide doesn't have to be removed after all, we can just move it back. smile

That doesn't really matter anyway, though half the time I'm wrong with this stuff. tongue
