Orphaned threads bug becoming dangerous...

trønderen's reply was to a now-deleted message from a spammer. I had replied to let him know, saying "The OP is a spammer. :)" The original message has now gone, so it looks like I was saying that Member 15868796 is a spammer, which he isn't. (At least not yet; so far, he's just a lazy student who's posted three identical copies of his code without any details.) I've deleted my reply, but if anyone read the broken thread without paying attention, this bug could have caused a non-spammer to be incorrectly flagged as a spammer.

Agreed, the difference perhaps is that I don't believe that the OP was removed or deleted (I, of course could be wrong in that assumption).
