RE: "A delete function would make it much easier for moderators to enforce TOU as they see fit on their own threads. The worst punishment for juvenile attention-seekers is erasing their chances of pissing and moaning on someone else's thread where they knew they weren't wanted from the beginning." That was my reasoning also - sort of a way to paint over the graffiti. I'm not sure what the potential for abuse might be on that sort of feature though. Ethically applied, I think it would work great... but not everyone is ethical.

Links get carted across threads thousands of times a day. You don't want your nonsense to be carted? Don't post it. Pre-approval of posters (pre-bans, actually) used to exist on this site. It was changed by Admin, their reasoning being that everyone was allowed at least one free post. THEN you could ban. Now we change it again? For you? Why? Deletions by moderators has never existed here. That has always been an Admin function, the post generally having to meet standards of excessive vulgarity or being threatening.
