Deletion for Mods Options

[Simba]

I think you guys seriously need to revert back to the old rule, where "spam" topics are never deleted. I don't even care if it's mass spam, maybe there's a legit topic you might have accidentally deleted in the whole mess. I even remember back when I was a mod, forums like The Lounge once being gloriously painted in red because of the remains of closed mass spam topics, because we had to close each one.

DELETING IS MOD ABUSE

There isn't a point to keep spam present in the forums. I can see that if something gets accidently deleted, that's a problem. but reposting it rather than bitching about it is a better solution for everyone.

You're right, thing is, there's no telling whether or not the mods screwed up and deleted a legit topic. You mods are not infallible. Unless you guys make a separate "trash" forum for the public where we can look through closed topics, I don't think you guys should be straight deleting topics.

Funny, 'cause I did, and it got deleted in less than a minute.
