I am also facing this problem because:

1. User A replied to the topic and then replied again pointing out a typo in his previous post
2. Admin replies pointing out that posts can be edited
3. User A fixes original reply and deletes the second one (it is now marked as “will be deleted within 24 hours”)
4. Admin also deletes his post

In my case that is not enough of an explanation. Firstly because I have previously definitely read all posts before they were deleted, so it should be known that I read them. Secondly because the post at the bottom (which is deleted) is currently my own, so it is by definition read by me.

In any case: wouldn’t it be a solution to just assume that deleted posts have been read (instead of assuming that they have not been read, as it is now)?
