Confirmed that it does auto promote regardless if the moderated post is deleted.
Seems like moderated posts need a queue area like a additional column field in the database before being added to the post count.
Or do not add the post count till approved.
I understand this may be to late to roll out for the upcoming 7.7.5 release.
But in my opinion it is a old issue that was never addressed.
I mean is not the purpose of moderated posts to stop inappropriate or spam posts so why should they be rewarded to count as a post to promote them..
