Seeing deleted posts

Why is it in some forums when, a member deletes his-her own post, a moderator or Admin is able to still see it? - RESOLVED

Because it can be the explanation for a string of bad behavior

I thought of that but if its already been deleted , what purpose will it serve if its only a one off or even if it’s a few , if the person has deleted it for a good post isn’t he-she rectifying the bad behaviour?

Pretty much what @lowendlinux said... otherwise someone could make a post calling you names or whatever, then delete it a few minutes later and the moderators would not be able to see it.
