Oh, are you talkng about the bottom trash can? I believe the that is what happens if the subject of the email denies the allegation (ie Bill is bopping interns) and the poster of the information does not reply to the email asking them if they stand by the information. If the poster says that they *do* stand by the information, then the information is posted and marked as denied.
It's a pretty interesting idea if I understand it; and it has some safeguards in it.
