impala post deletion Options

[impala454]

great, so its ok for someone to say they despise the government, but it's not ok for me to despise those that despise the government. fuck you whichever mod it was that deleted my shit (and didn't feel it necessary to let me know why).

Oh, let me suggest a compromise.

1) If an individual post gets reported, it is subject to deletion at a mod's discretion.
2) If a post isn't reported, but it is extremely inappropriate (this one was only borderline questionable, admittedly), a mod may delete it.
3) If a post spawns a long series of personal attacks and off-topic spammy crap, the whole line of it is subject to deletion, even if some of the posts are not terribly bad taken in and of themselves.
(If it just spawns a valid off-topic discussion, the thread will simply get split as appropriate).

So, basically, only flame wars and very over-the-top individual posts will get automatically deleted.

It's up to Lance whether this specific post of Impala's will get restored, seeing as how he's the only one with permissions to take care of it, but I think we'll try to follow the guidelines above from now on. Sound good?

Though I recognize the difference between point 1 and 2, they both ultimately result in the mod's discretion.

I personally feel that is unfair to everyone who isn't a mod.

Well... yeah. I mean, unless we give everyone the ability to edit/delete posts it's always going to ultimately be up to someone's discretion.
