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.

thats where we should choose our mods carefully.

spec is a good mod. i have yet to see an instance where she became biased and over used mod power.

zach has his "fuck it all" days and is prone to wanting to delete everything

and i don't think pebkac has a full grasp of what the mod is supposed to do yet.

as for other things, i don't really know many of the other mods. all i know is that jessica is a harlot of the highest caliber. and if we can't respect that, then we don't have anymore techsans
