Once an ID banned, any topics posted by the banned IDs are deleted (includes any MIDs ,advertisers and self bans). This is an automated system and has nothing to do with the moderation team. We did not delete 3 pages worth of topics. Furthermore, "locking" a topic does not decrease the page count as the topic remains in the forum.
Hope that clears your concern : )
