Seems like this is starting to become a common occurrence in the last few days since the Jr member merit requirement was introduced. I have suspicions that users are purposely meriting posts that are considered spam, and will be removed, and they are anticipating its removal, and thus won't be noticeable by the public.
From now on when deleting a post which I consider spam, but has been merited I'll be listing them here. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, because quite frankly I don't have enough time to investigate the merit sender, and the user that got merited to determine whether its fishy or not. However, instead of deleting the reply, and allowing it to disappear into oblivion I'd prefer a list showing when a post has been merited, but then deleted when its obviously spam, and has no obvious reason why it should of been merited.
Again, not accusing anyone of anything here. I'm just not comfortable with deleting replies, which could well be merit abuse. I'd rather that be public. Unfortunately, a few replies have already been deleted the last few days which received merit.
