Closed accounts = deletion of all posts

We don't use the purge tool unless it's really necessary. Like said before, there's no point in deleting all users posts if they weren't banned for Spamming or Leeching. Also we've got no reason to purge a user that has been pretty HQ and then went to shit. It's like denying their existence. Also we leave some posts so, when it comes to appeals, we see what the user did. Otherwise it would be impossible for other Staff members to know what exactly the user posted.

So in the end it just comes down to: We can't filter out LQ posts upon certain criteria (unless you have a Staff member solely for that purpose)

This is a very understandable and reasonable approach. I also don't see a need to, and I actually hope that showing banned users' posts would help set an example of what not to do on the forums.
