Wanderer: How busy is your forum? You've mentioned database size so I'm just intrigued as to how quickly yours is growing. I suppose this would constitute me being silly. Sorry.
Just edited my previous post... That is when I turn off the ability to see hidden post in role&permission without turning it off first in my forum preference
@ Wanderer:
If you don't want a user to be able to see hidden post anymore change his role (from moderator to just member).
If you need yourself to not see hidden post, turn it off in account > forum preference.
That only if you don't want all user of a group to be able to see hidden post anymore, that this bug will really be problem.

My Vanilla flavoured forum is not yet fully open, still using phpBB until I get my head around this lack of feature. OK so the size thing might not be such a big deal but I sometimes get kids innocently posting inappropriate comments which I need to remove. Currently I am editing the post, marking it "to be deleted" then searching in the database and zapping it there.
Once posts are marked hidden, I bet you can delete all of them in one go by executing DELETE FROM LUM_Comment WHERE Deleted = '1'I don't know how safe this is, and I don't think it will remove the topics from the grid either. I can monkey around a bit more to see how to do that if you wish.
i'm using RemovalComment that doesn't work (error with no error). Any old version of this plugin ?
The hide just not work with the weighted words. It showing everything - even if the comment is hide - and when you click on the word, nothing's found.

Cumbersome!
Your best bet is to just hide them for now untli the purge comments extension is working/available.
