I know, some people always spam, and you have to delete it. I understand. But I read back at the "Rate the rock song above you" topic, and I noticed a thing. I made a post. Than an another user made a post. Than I made a post too. (You know how rate...above you topic's going) Now I see, that the other user's post have deleted, and it looks like:

So now it looks like I voted for myself. I know you delete posts because of spamming, or whatever, but please keep in mind, that sometimes it's make the forum different.

Thanks:

i guess a way of getting round this problem, if minor, but yes, still potentially irritating, wouyld be to leave a strip saying 'ost deleted' where a post used to be? it's only a minor adjustment yea?

It's one reason why one shouldn't respond to spammers or say "this is in the wrong forum" because stuff an change. On the other hand, that's just the way it goes. Sometimes people respond more than just that post so deleting it would be detrimental. It requires a little more effort on the moderator's end, but ultimately, it's not worth anything unless a user asks for their post to be deleted too.
