Suggestion: Don't Remove Posts of Banned Users

This was added a few years ago as a quick way of removing offending material (such as pornography). We had a number of cases where someone signed up and posted a load of offensive images in different threads and rather than a moderator having to go through and manually remove each one, the ban system was set so that a permaban would just hide all posts from that user.

I agree that this feature isn't really necessary anymore and this is something we can remove when we update the site.

What if the porn spammers returned?  Would you implement the removing all posts again?

Removing every post should be an emergency measure available to mods, but it shouldn't be the rule. Most of the times removing just the offending posts is the best options, and sometimes leaving them too with a note of the mods added could be even better, showing everybody why those people were banned and implicitly telling them "please don't be so stupid and offensive again".
