Yeah. When people are banned for spamming: their posts, which are all just spam, are deleted. When people are banned for breaking some other rule then most of their posts are legitimate posts, often posts which people have replied to, so they're left on the system. [And a lot of spam is posted by automatic programs which register account after account after account, so as forums become better know it's not uncommon for 80% of "members" to actually be spammers.]
