Just wondering, when you edit your own post and reduce the character count, your points go down, but why doesn't that work when a mod/admin edits someone else's post? Will this be easier to implement?

I was thinking I could do this.. so I was gonna edit someone's post (spam) by removing the text in the post (their points go down) THEN delete it.

I understand that's troublesome for deleting an entire long thread, but that's also rare for me to do (rationale: the thread has lasted long enough without a mod deleting it, so it must have some merit). Spam threads are usually deleted right away when there's only 2-3 posts.
