Then we would have to report the spam. It would be more of a hassle overall. At least with new threads, the spam is a lot easier to see and kill.
I have a suggestion that might help if it could be implemented. When a user is banned, an option to delete all posts and all threads started by this user. That way, all the spam threads would go at once for each username.

Agree, that attaching to legit threads would be harder to get rid of. Automatically deleting all posts when user is banned is a bad idea, IMO. You would not want to get rid of possible legit and helpful posts. Having an optional admin tool to delete all posts and or started threads for a user is probably already there.
