Why do deleted posts stay and say “deleted by author” if noone has responded to them or even seen them ---

My dude, You already had two threads locked this morning. Are you going for a hat trick? Questioning forum moderation got your last one locked. Did you not learn a lesson from that? Why spam “post deleted by author” again here, when that contributed to getting your precious Jita Everywhere thread locked. I honestly don’t know exactly why. I’m guessing it’s so you can’t bait someone into a response, then delete your post with no trace so you can hold up your hands with an innocent expression on your face and ask, “Who? Me?”. ---

I think the real issue is: Stop people from spam starting new threads. I think a 7 day cool down is needed between starting new threads, or else we get trash like this, over and over and over again. ---

So its to prevent people bumping a thread and deleting the post? Well it seems to have unintended consequences. As will putting a cooldown on comments and threads. If someone is ghost bumping the mods will figure it out sooner or later and can deal with it ---

> [@Wesfahrn](#): > > As will putting a cooldown on comments and threads. Oh, no. I didn’t say put a cooldown on comments to a thread. It’s to stop people like you from spam starting 5 different threads with lousy ideas each day. ---
