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

if a mod accidentally deleted a topic in the midst of a massive spam fest, they would just bring it back, right? it would be annoying and a waste of time to scroll through pages of deleted topics when there's really no point in them at all. just chill.

lol, how would you do that?

Naw but for real, I got what you're saying.

I don't know how topics really started getting deleted in the first place, to be honest. I'm still from the old school of modding (lol) where only ad topics get deleted.

I still say, though, if someone fills the first page of the lounge with spam, they get deleted after a day or so.
A day or so, that's actually a good idea.
