Subject: [PATCH] Log mod-deleted messages to both deletion and moderation
 threads

When a moderator deletes a message, it's now logged to both the per-user deletion thread and the moderation thread. This provides better visibility of mod actions in the moderation log alongside kicks, bans, and timeouts.
