Deleted threads still visible

IrishTickle · Jul 15, 2013

As I'm typing this, there's a bot spamming the Welcome to the TMF forum. One account was deleted by Myriads, and another cropped up. The thing is, the threads from the first spambot, which were deleted by Myriads, are showing up for me on the forum, with the note to the right saying that they were deleted and by whom.

Is this normal? I was under the impression from modding other fora, that when a thread was deleted, only the mods of that forum could actually see the still deleted thread?

I just thought I'd bring it to your attention in case something's gone wrong.

The accounts produced such a volume of posts that I had to handle removing them manually rather then the automated spam removal program (Which still dutifully tagged them as deleted.... silly program) . As I was juggling a few things at once this AM, I had to let some sit until I could get back to them.

I should have them all cleared now.

Thank you for the heads up though. I appreciate users that point stuff like this out, as it's often how we learn there is a issue happening.

No problem. Although you probably won't be happy to hear that they're still showing up for me. 😀 I've made a screenshot so you can see the relevant threads.
