My coworker gave me admin access to his ideas list, and I promptly deleted one of his ideas, just to see if I could. I was surprised that it just "went away", but I'm glad notification of the event (along with the idea itself) was emailed off to him. It would be nice if my ideas, that get junked by someone else, (or all junked ideas) went into some sort of trash bin associated with the list (and maybe only the person who creates the idea gets to purge it forever).

Edit: excellent work overall!

We're actually just marking them as deleted (acts_as_paranoid rails plugin) so we can later add an "archive" that lets you pull things out of the trash bin. We haven't figured out the UI for that yet, so it's in just an unranked idea in our product development stormweight list for now.
