Yeah, what I was trying to communicate is that now the thread just vanishes.
Keeping it open with a warning about if you clicked the link would at least have the possibility of giving some people a warning that they may have been compromised.
Still, ban the OP and everything else, but at least there would be something there that people could see.

I think this is a good initiative and it seems easy to be implemented because usually maybe when a user post is deleted (maybe it was off topic or some other reason), they are informed through pm and this time the reason can be stated that the thread was nuked because the Op posted a malicious link.
This also include when same malicious link is posted as a replay on a thread.
