Deleted post shows on profile - Spore - Dec 25, 2025
When you find a post (especially on front page) that happens to be deleted when you click on it, you can still find the deleted/"archived" post on the OP's profile.. In this case its info you wouldn't want members seeing publicly.
Below is example of a deleted post that you don't want members seeing due to openly sharing a telegram leaks channel... we all know how those things go, but showing on their public profile. This isn't anything major I guess... Just a small thing I found should be brought up

If it remains as part of the poster’s history, it could add up to stored data over time and potentially increase memory usage, which might lead to overload and require a significant amount of storage space. However, it’s also useful as a posting history, because it allows us to see the user’s past activity and track their history.

A deleted post should not show on a profile. If that's the case then the query is wrong and I'll fix it.
Let me investigate this.
EDIT: I can't repeat this behavior. Profiles are not showing deleted posts.

I can confirm I noticed this behavior as well when this thread was posted (https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6315969) - it seemed to have been fixed within an hour. Not sure if there is caching or what might cause it

If it got "fixed" by itself, then it's caching. Because I didn't make any changes. Also, is this caching problem on mobile and on profiles you regularly visit?

I’ve only ever noticed it once.
I’ll try to reproduce it next time I see a recently banned user.

It's visible across profiles for me, I have one on mine, which is most recent reply.

Yep, I also experienced that kind of bug when I tried to visit the one in the profile page, it doesn't exist anymore.
