I have run across a few spam posts or rude posts while looking through the forums. Yesterday I clicked the "report" button to notify staff that there was a dumb chain letter post. 3 mods responded and told me that the issue happened a long time ago and has been taken care of.

If it has been taken care of a long time ago, then why is the lame post still there? Why don't mods just delete it? It makes the forums look trashy when there are old spam posts laying around.

Here's a perfect example: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...t&p=3020516 I don't know why a mod hasn't deleted this already. Not only is it spam, it is also very rude.

I am not blaming the mods or pointing fingers or anything. You guys do a good job at stopping the people who are spamming, but I just don't get why you leave all the evidence after the person has been banned.

Does anyone agree with me?...
