One thing this has made me realize is that I think people are explicitly assuming Reign of Terror means “access to Delete-And-Hide”. Which is not actually the case right now, but which is a reasonable assumption and we should probably be designing the site around that being intuitively obvious.
(right now, Reign of Terror is just a text description, informing commenters what to expect. But it probably makes sense for users to only have Delete-And-Hide if their moderation style is set to Reign of Terror, and/or if they use the delete-and-hide feature, the give post’s moderation setting is changed to Reign of Terror regardless of what their usual setting is)
Delete-and-Hide requiring higher karma that other delete options also seems reasonable to me. (And regardless of whether it should or not, we should probably refactor the code such that it’s handled separately from from the block-of-permissions that grants the other deletes, so we have more control over it)
