I know shit post are meant to be tracked and fizzled out of this forum, but for improvement sake and a possible prevention of a repeat of such post, isn't it better for administrators to just lock the post for awhile, rather than delete it immediately?

Or isn't it more appropriate for administrators to apply any of the options of which includes to either lock the post for a while and delete later, or arrange similar shit posts into a separate board and delete later, so as it acts as a reminder to others and to the creator of such post on the kind of post not to make and present?
