If pages that exist only to spam get hidden from public view, why shouldn't other spam?

Ideally pages witch are spam would still be visible too, it's just impossible to achieve using this software.

This is a simple matter of transparency, it doesn't make any personal difference to me I can see deleted stuff anyway.

There is such a thing as ForgiveAndForget. If pages that are spam should be visible too, they could just be blanked.

myrtonos@12:30, 6 March 2019

Sadly there's no way then to deal with the titles being spam, or the fact it still appears as a page when searching.

But then I didn't design this software or write the guidelines for using it, I am just pointing out that people here think your approach to spam is a little unusual.
