Thread Deletion Issue

Last night, I found a spam post that was added onto the end of a good thread (about depleted uranium) in Radiochemistry. It was one of your typical nonsensical spam posts advertising shoes.
So, I reported that post. I woke up this morning and found that the whole thread is gone!
I know most spam comes in new threads, but if this happens when reporting a spam post in an existing thread, there could be issues.

Interesting. I've reported a post on the end of a thread before and the thread was retained, so this sounds like a mistake.

Lets launch a boycott of Nike and let them know...and let them know why!

Bert, that's really funny. We should all do it :)
How, erm, legal is that, though?
But the SpamDuh extension looks exceptionally funny :) It allows you to create webpages full of fake emails for spammers to attempt to spam.
