Title
allow undeletion of posts for a short time after deletion
Short, concise description of the idea
after a post is deleted, there should be a period of time (say, 30 days) during which the post can be undeleted. after that time, the post should be purged, so that it can never be undeleted.
Full description of the ideasometimes, it would be nice

While I'm sure it is possible for developers to access backups and restore entries that have been deleted, historically this has been reserved for LiveJournal-side technical problems causing disappearing entries, not for account compromise situations. As horrible as it is to have an account compromise, I would not like to set a precedent of disturbing the developers and requiring a manual restoration for anything short of an LJ-side catastrophe.

I don't think it's actually that possible. While under certain circumstances maybe some things could be found through a lot of work and pounding on things, I don't think it's actually really that possible in most situations.
ETA: sorry, still on first cup of coffee. I hope this makes sense.

Err... oops, this was supposed to be in reply to your comment about community maintainers' decision on this overriding that of the user who posted an entry in a community. (That and the 24-72 hours - I might go with 48 - are the "modifications" I meant.) Although upon further thought... what if a user deletes an entry in a community because they want it gone, and the community maintainers decide to undelete it and refuse to redelete it?
