Comment(by azaozz):

 The latest patch looks better but I think Westi has a very good point. The
 user experience and expectations have to be clarified first.

 If we do follow the analogy with the Trash can in the OS, we don't need
 approve|edit|quick edit|spam on the deleted comments. They are deleted, no
 other actions apart from Delete Permanently and Empty Trash should be
 there.

 Also imagine a blog with 200-300 users that delete 10-20 comments per week
 on average. Would make a huge number of cron tasks to go through... Having
 another date/time field in the db and one cron job per day sounds like a
 better option. The same job can do the delete for posts, pages,
 attachments, etc. too.
