Danbooru is really the only other image site that will still show deleted posts. I am of the mind that deleted posts should remain deleted and not visible (which they are to anyone who is not a contributor or above).
This goes double for this website, which often has malicious, baiting, or otherwise terrible content uploaded too often via both raids and poor users.
I have personally gone through the deleted captions page and undeleted everything I believe does pass quality control rules, but honestly, a lot of captions that people make are simply bad. They have either poor formatting for their text (as is the case with most), are pure text walls, or are very lazily constructed.
Oh, I agree on the captions, there's loads of them that are low-effort and super low-quality. A majority of what gets deleted really deserves to be there. The main issue was one dude taking issue to otherwise fine ones, that then vanish, that happened a bunch of times I remember.
I can understand why they're hidden, on the whole, just slightly lamenting that I can't dig through the dumpster to find the secret nazi gold anymore. :v
