Why don't mods delete spammer's posts?

Occasionally, I see spam posts. The users are usually banned, but their posts are left up.
Why aren't they deleted? What is the point of leaving the offending post up? Doesn't that give the spammers a reason to do it again? Doesn't that give the spammers what they want, their junk on a message board?
Just curious...

It's an issue of not following procedure. Proper practice for a mod or admin when spotting a spammer is to ban then and then do a post search, deleting all posts. Not everybody does.

Somehow it all comes back to the rule 8...
Somewhere Tooki is smiling that he's gone.

If tooki is smiling, I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with MacNN.

That's what I mean. He's smiling because he's not here.
