Deleted posts don't remove the branch anymore. If a user deletes a post, the message text is replaced by "CONTENTS DELETED..." and the thread structure stays intact.

Smart! I wasn't aware of that improvement.

I don't think spammers should be notified …

Agreed, I did wonder about that before posting.

It's unfortunate that respectful users might be bucketed with spammers in the 'don't notify' policy, but since (as noted above) thread structures stay intact, I guess that orphaning is far less likely to hit respectful users.

I'll treat this topic as resolved (and look forward to a less aggressive garbage collection … a month's notice would be far more reasonable).

Thanks
