Wouldn’t mods still be able to see the withdrawn topics and ban the user?  
What is the rate limiting on creating topics?  
Also I don’t think that a spammer would gain anything from deleting their posts. I doubt that 2Pac would have deleted the questions in the above example.  
The biggest case I see against it is the effort/usefulness ratio, which I guess is pretty low.
