Question for Admin/Mods

[misterhelpful]

I'm just wondering, if a thread is deleted altogether because someone is breaking rules etc, do the deleted posts of individuals that have contributed fairly within that thread count against them, thus leading to a possible ban without cause?
There have been many deleted topics lately with some users giving good advice many times within them, so are they at risk of being banned because of somebody elses actions?

Apologies if this has been asked/answered before but I couldn't find anything.

I am beginning to think, no one ever gets banned.

They must do, as several regularly abusive contributors vanished without trace from the plastering forum a couple of weeks back.

Unless they have gone in to self imposed exile!!

Only the abusive/spam posters get a 'point', other posters within a deleted thread are not penalised, so fear not

Persistent offenders are banned if they don't get the hint.
