It doesn't save on resources, it is actually worse on resources,
since deleted items stick around for longer than they might. A user might
accidentally click on the delete button, so we would have to have a
confirmation of whether they really want to delete the post or not.
I think this system is better for users, and slightly more work
for admins, though it isn't that much work for admins, so I think it is a
pretty good system.
