[suggestion] Check active links on node delete

[stargazerwna]

Should a user be able to delete an active node ?
WiND checks next node in order to display active links when you create a node, but what happens if someone deletes one with active links?

There is a conflict between what should be deleted and what not. It's not a matter of connected active links, it's a general policy issue. The conflict lies between user personal data and functional consistency of links and nodes. In the current code a user can delete a node yes, despite the fact that there is a "deleted" state. We need to implement the function of "deleted/inactive" state and hide or remove the code for actual deletion for nodes. If the user decides to put the node in "deleted" state then we can figure out what we can do in case there are active links and also hide the user's personal data etc.

Also there has to be a disclaimer and refine the terms of use policy for the users, but this is for the community that installs and maintains the site to decide.

IMO, I would implement this as a configurable switch (Actual delete vs deleted state).
