This can very easily be manipulated, so the number doesn't mean anything.
Which type of manipulation you mentioned?
I thought that the new figure on total deleted posts make sense, because, at somewhat extents, it help us to know the level of spamming in each thread.
However, I think that we should move further than that. If such figure implemented, I suggest to separate it into two parts:
- One part is the figure of total delete posts in each thread, including posts deleted by OP, mods, users themselves.
- Second part is the figure of total delete posts in each thread by OP.
Almost the same ideas there:
For self-moderated threads we already have that, unless what you are proposing is a bit different?
Would all deleted posts be counted in the overall statistics?
- When OP deletes his own post.
- When mods delete a post.
- When any user deletes his own post.
But if it is implemented, it should be a additional statistics, that can be viewed if users want to get them, via
drop-down list.
