I know shit post are meant to be tracked and fizzled out of this forum and I can't dictate for the moderators and admins, 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?
I observed something about repeated post, not everyone will make use of the search option and I see no reason keeping shit post just because others should not repeat same post. Few users still repeat questions asked without noticing someone else created same topic so i don’t think this can help, I understand the point clearly but, I don’t think this can help rather we avoid any form of shit posting.


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?
Creating a space for shitpost is not necessary tho it’s similar as off topic space, it sounds like a duplicate meanwhile the rule still stands. Why not inform a user about repeated topic then let mods do their duty, the only stress here shows a user post will be deleted.
