Cancelled drafts get saved

[vanillaforums]

[Originally submitted by Mike.XIII on the old issue tracker]

Start a new discussion
Type some random things
Save the draft or wait for it to be auto saved
Click the cancel button

Since you clicked "cancel" it pretty much means you don't care about the discussion and don't want to post, so I don't think it should keep a saved copy of the draft, it should be removed.

But then again, it works great if you want to save the draft and post at a later time.

Therefore, there should be separate buttons; One to scrap the draft, one to save for later use.
Because as-is, if you really do want to scrap the new discussion you have to check the 'My Drafts' view, find it, and then delete it.

My gut feeling is that there are two different usecases here.

1. User starts a discussion, the system autosaves once or a few times, then the user cancels.
   Desired outcome: autosaved draft is deleted.

2. User starts a discussion, at some point manually saves the draft, and then hits cancel.
   Desired outcome: draft remains and must be manually deleted.

Thoughts?

Keeping all drafts will remain the default behaviour.
