1. Have a new user post 2 or more spam messages
2. On the first message, click “Delete user”.
3. Notice how the other message(s) remain in the list.
4. Click “Delete user” on the second message.
5. Notice the 500 Server error

1. Reload `/queued-posts`. The other messages from the deleted users correctly no longer appear.

`/logs` shows:

That’s because the UI isn’t refreshing in delete user. It technically deleted both but the UI isn’t showing that until you manually reload the page. Seems very minor as far as a bug is concerned.

Just want to tie this topic here now too

When you click on the needs approval link to see list of topics requiring approval, when you delete one (and ban ip and delete account and all posts) they are removed from the DB but not that list. Clicking on delete for another spam post then results in an error message.
