What is post_status in the posts table of the database and what do the various settings mean?

I suspect that it is for marking spam and the like.

Spam could be 1, not spam 0.

Actually, I believe a post_status of 1 means the post has been deleted and is not visible on the forum. Maybe the field should be called post_deleted since that’s what a 1 there seems to mean.

I think:

0 = normal

1 = marked as “deleted”

2 = marked as spam by akismet

Thanks!
