Just a quick question regarding when a post is deleted (or hidden) due to enough people hitting the Spam button.
When this happens is there a way to stop these threads appearing in the 'Last Post' column of the main forum page or sub-forum page?
On the quiet boards in particular the glitch means that the Spam title and user is still visible long after the thread has been removed (if there have been no posts on that board since), and as Spammers often use their website as a username they are still managing to promote their spam.
Eg at this current time the Stoozing, Other Reclaiming, Charities and UK Armed Forces all have a spammer post showing as last post - despite the threads having been removed.

We can see how this isn't ideal and we'll see if anything can be done about it.
