We created this feature because of the wide-spread problem with spam, personal attacks, and bashing without reason or facts
No mention at all of "hyping without reason or facts".
I agree. I thought I'd perused the Terms of Service pretty thoroughly, but didn't see that. I'll look again and have it changed. As I've already told a few people, I don't agree with using "bashing" or "without facts" as reasons to remove posts. In any scenario, the best one can come up with is their *opinion* that information is and isn't factual.
I don't want people, acting as proxies for the site's admin, asserting on this site's behalf that someone's information is wrong, thereby asserting that all undeleted posts are 100% correct.
Refutation, not deletion.
