Cannot undelete a post I accidently deleted

I was reading through a forum thread on my tablet, in a game where I'm Co-GM. As I was scrolling through the thread, I must have hit Delete on a post by accident. It simply vanished. No trace of it left. No "This post has been deleted by the author or a moderator." and a Restore button that I get when I tested it just now in my test game (where I am Creator not just Co-GM). The only thing that's unchanged is the number of replies in the forum view, still shows 12 replies but I only see 11. I think it's a pretty major bug that I can delete posts, without a confirmation dialog, but can't restore it. Edit: Seems the author of the post was able to Restore it (also co-GM), still I think it's weird I can delete but don't have the ability to restore

Was the author (your Co-GM) the Creator of the game, Quatar?
No, she wasn't, we've both been made GM by the creator.

What may be the issue is that the Restore Thread/Post function is an element that only the Creator of the game can see/use. There are a couple features of a game that are locked exclusively to the game creator and not to any co-GMs, like advertising for LFG and deleting the game. These are security decisions made in order to prevent a promoted GM from wreaking too much havoc on a game if they decide to be malicious. Since a Co-GM has the forum permissions to delete a thread, it probably makes sense that they can also restore one too. I'll put together a ticket for this.
Thank you.  I think it wouldn't even be a huge problem if there was a popup saying "Are you sure you want to delete this post? Only the Creator of the game can restore it. Yes/No" The instant delete is fine for Creators, as they can just click Restore if they were wrong.
