Normally when the mods delete a comment they leave a reference that it was deleted and why, but these are simply not there...

I deleted the two messages you're referring to. They were spam and I banned the spammer.

If this happens again you're safe assuming it was spam and was deleted. Sometimes, as was mentioned, spam is replaced with a standard "CR4 Moderator deleted..." response, but to me it was clear that the presence of that user was spam and spam only. So I wanted it gone. If it would have interfered with the continuity of the thread of course I would have simply replaced the text with the standard response.

Such are the woes of a free registration forum! Trying to keep it clean for you guys. (Not saying I'm for or against CR4 being free, or that it will change one way or another at any time.)
