The threads that are poofed because they are spam advertising, such as the one for "enlarging your unit/member" that was left up a few days ago with the link still there because it was part of the topic....need to get erased. I really do not need to see those at all. As far as someone's personal post getting poofed, those could be deleted with an auto-email notification generated for the offending party and sent to them. That way, the clutter is removed from the board, the deleted poster knows what happened, and they are not called out in front of the board.
