I made it so that whenever the user or an admin deletes a post, it lands into the "Archives Posts" section that only admins can see and that was the best of both worlds: users didn't see spam and trash posts and staff still had everything archived just in case.

We have a separate section called Trash. We also use it. but for spamming it'd just clog up our database :p
