Tags For Deleted Posts Need To Be Deleted

August 4, 2006 8:33 AM

It would seem to me that a deleted post with tags would be more useful than a tag that hasn't any posts. [example] (if the tags hadn't been deleted). Why aren't all deleted posts purged of tags [example] so that search results are less questionable?
