If you posted in a thread started by a spammer, the whole thread goes away. Same for sock threads. Otherwise, all posts are left as they are.

[Sock puppet.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_%28Internet%29)

A thread started by a “sock” of a current(or former/banned poster). When discovered, it goes bye-bye as well as the OP.
