Description
Bug Report
Current Behavior
The approval can be circumvented.
Steps to Reproduce
- User create a post on a tag that requires approval
- Moderator undo the signaling (not approving it) or delete the post
- User post a new content in the same post
- Post is visible for anyone
Expected Behavior
- If I delete a post in a discussion that only have 1 post, the discussion should be hidden!
- Removing the moderator signal from an unapproved discussion should not allow replies (or, better yet: automaticaly lock the discussion and inform the user why it was not approved)

Done means deleted or unapproved single-post discussions cannot remain visible or accept replies, with the expected user notification behavior clarified.
