I realize that leaving some locked posts might teach people not to spam...but there are many pointless ones that would prolly just eat up alot of space on ur server...juss curious y u guys havent deleted them yet...?

A lot more posts than you probably know actually do get deleted. The pointless ones sometimes we lock because it shows what is NOT acceptable on the forum. By deleting it many people don't know what happend and then people do the same post again.
