sfPropelParanoidBehavior only registers hooks w/ the doSelectRS method (http://trac.symfony-project.com/browser/plugins/sfPropelParanoidBehaviorPlugin/config/config.php). This caused a problem when I used AlternativeSchema? to add the paranoid behavior to the Topic model of the sfSimpleForumPlugin. The view that lists topics does not filter out records where deleted_at is not null. The topic view uses sfSimpleForumTopicPeer::doSelectJoinsfSimpleForumPost method, which does not use the doSelectRS method.
I noticed that sfModerationPlugin does register hooks to the various doSelectJoin* methods.
Adding this patch to the sfPropelParanoidBehaviorPlugin of my local project seems to make sfSimpleForumPlugin work the way I'd expect w/ Paranoid behavior.
