When deleting posts from spammers.....

We've had a bunch of spammers lately, posting here to sell all sorts of wonderful (!) products. Some even include their url in the subject line of their thread.

I've noticed that spammer's posts seem to be deleted by the community within minutes but the thread remains until the moderators choose to delete it (which can take days, if it ever happens at all).  May I suggest therefore that in addition to pressing the "Remove this Post" button, if the post is at the top of the list within a forum, that you also 'bump up' another thread so that the spammer's thread gets buried?  I don't come to this board every day anymore but I hate it when I come on and find spammers threads listed all over the Forum Index page.  Sometimes the posts were deleted days earlier, but the thread is still at the top of the list for that particular Forum.
