Hide deleted spammer threads?

[chpalmer]

Awesome! With our forum we run it took close to two years to slow down the influx of spammers after we ignored the member list for a number of years.

The bots are quite sophisticated. Too bad the authors don't go help a worthy cause and help MS fix Windows...

Is there any way to hide the deleted spammer threads? I stepped through my profile settings and didn't see anything related to that. Maybe the mods can just hide deleted threads on their end?

If you have an example of a thread you can see says deleted, can you give a link?
With my permissions, I see them all. I've looked without logging in and both Moderated, and Deleted do not show.

Not answered yet and I still see deleted threads. I took a snip of what I'm seeing but it doesn't appear that the forums allow me to attach a picture to this thread.
