Deleted Posts?

Hey, whats the deal with the deleted Post section? Cant you just delete the posts entirely, why keep them around? Is it like me leaving the dead spiders around with toothpicks in them, as a warning to all the other spiders?

Ive never been a mod (of anything) so I wouldnt know. :huh:

In my forums, we call it the Recycle bin. All us mods put bad posts there to die. A lot of times, an admin wants to review said bad post to make sure the mod was justified in deleting it. And sometimes, we just wanna re-read whatever moronic crap went on that day. :D

Hey, that was crap was 80% mine. Its good then that the mods try to "reflect" on what they've done. I have NEVER seen a mod change his mind though (ah those stubborn people).
