looks like it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

We don't automatically remove anything from accounts removed by reports. Doing so would lead to situations where legitimate content was nuked just because certain members were trigger happy. Unfortunately we do have high ranking members who report other members for no apparent reason at all.

Sure, this is clear, but what to do in this case? It's a big contamination to the site. The span messages are still there. Removing spammers' accounts is just one part, but keeping spam messages showing defeats the purpose of anti-spam measures.
The sample of this particular spam comment can be found here: For a program to be run on Windows and OS X, what programming language(s) is best to use?[^].
I hope you will understand my concern if you take a look at it. There was 40 if them when I looked at them for the last time.
Thank you.

Sign out and you'll notice you can no longer see the message. Search engines won't see it, nor will casual users. Signed-in members will still be able to see the evidence swaying in the breeze.
Doing so allows members to not only close questions, but also re-open questions that shouldn't have been closed.

I see. (But spam is still there. The point is: this is not a question, but comment, which appears to be more persistent  ) I guess I have to write "spam removed" text instead of spam, even in the removed comment. Thank you, Chris.

Well I ask for the help of a big hammer in Spam and Abuse Forum, I give the reasons and the list of "no other way to get ride of" messages.
After a legitimation check of CP-Staff member, they have deleted the messages definitively.
And I like it that way. I agree with Chris that automated solutions could be dangerous.

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Apparently, I poorly explained the idea. I did not mean fully automatic removal of posts triggered by the event when the account gets disabled. I meant manually triggered removal with the purpose of permanent removal of obvious spam posts. Can you see that this is still a problem?

Yes... I see your point. And yes... there is already a way.
As I told in my previous message. Rise the point in Abuse Forum asking for help as in this example[^]. Then after the required double check, they will get removed sooner or later.

I receive notifications of replies and such in my e-mail just fine. But a few days ago I believe I had a notification of a private message e-mail, I saw the message in CP and expected to see it in my e-mail when I got home, but it seems that it never showed up. Not even in the spam folder.
Is the private message e-mail system working?
|

|

Check your email. If you see a private email from me then yes, it's working.

Yes, I do. So it's not that. Thanks.

Does 3b mean
You may apply (bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications) obtained from the Public Domain or from the Author
or does it mean
You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and (other modifications obtained from the Public Domain or from the Author)
braces are added to specify groupings of terms.
Now that I am looking at it, the "other" term probably means it is the former, but I would still like clarification.
Edit: this was originally going to a be a suggestion but changed to a question, hence it is in the wrong forum.

It's the former.

That's because, in reporting it, you closed it. You changed the state of the question.
