Poet ... where is this particular thread. Surely this is not the place.

Then people that post such on this forum and others should have said posts deleted. Repeated offenses should draw a suspension.

Poet, you have the 100k post on iHub. Congrats.

Bob already does this:

He does? Where?

I like the idea quite a bit. And it'd work nicely with our plan to have the text of deleted posts (and reason) PM'd directly to the author when the deletion is done. Options buttons when reading such posts would be "Reply", "Accept", "Appeal", and "EGADS!".

Reply would reply privately to the person who deleted it, Accept would just archive the message, Appeal would reply to me privately, and EGADS! would post the contents into a new message in the EGADS! board. The EGADS! button would only show up for a subset of the deletion-reasons so that it can't be used to repost a privacy invasion or threat, for example.
