If by palatable you mean conforming to the rules (as signed by everyone that joins the site) then yea, I require that of posts on this board. So if people break the swear filter, it gets edited out. If ott personal abuse happens, it gets edited out. If continued trolling, general misbehaviour etc happen, then eventually, they get booted off altogether.
Pretty much a summing up of what can/will happen that is stickied at the top of the forum.
I posted on this site last week and found out later the post had been deleted. There was no profanity, trolling or personal abuse in the post - it was just a description of my getting banned from HHQ.
Given that the post does not fit into the categories you've listed for deleting/editing posts; how come it was deleted?

Ahh.. you mean like your little sook fest here then? You are not unintelligent but what you seem to fail to realise is that the board is not here for your benefit alone or to suit what you believe makes for acceptable or unacceptable discussion. Like hecks, the little word 'rules' seems to escape your attention.
If I was quite as dictatorial as you'd make me out, do you think I'd bother leaving this thread up, let alone running for three pages?
Anyone and everyone, even non-Hawthorn supporters are free to post here providing they do so with regard and respect towards the rules of B/F.
You can't deal with that, there's a big wwweb out there, I'm sure you can find a place for yourself somewhere within it.
I wouldn't have needed to start the little sook fest if the thread at the top of this forum wasn't locked.
At the end of the day you don't really want opinion on this Board, you want something that complies with the cursory rules you've set down. Personally, I would prefer to see posters put a little bit of passion/interest into their posts, even if this meant they contravened some of your stupid rules. At the moment this Board consists of posts that are either inarticulate or flat out dumb, eg.
Philhawk: 'I hope we don't get a repeat of the Murphy father/son fiasco. I don't know if Josh Kennedy lives in Melbourne' ....... Then why are you posting it, if you don't know what your talking about.
Hawkk: a 14 year old kid, he asks the question 'who will get the converted number 23'.....enough said.
crannypete: I'm starting to get tired of the dope smoking moron crap, dude.
Bennycoff: 'I'd just like to confirm Hawthorn would definitely be interested in'.... who the heck are you - AC, Bucky or Pelchen.
Gary Shadworth: has this bloke ever said anything worthwhile.
Cyberkev: 'I'd just like to introduce one of the most knowledgable posters on BigFooty'.....cough, cough.
Jacqui: I've heard from people that have seen you, that your a pipsqueak. And yeah, I've learnt to differentiate between the sensible and the stupid, you fall into the latter category.
You see Mr moderator these are opinions, as opposed to the typing that normally gets posted in this forum. Now, given that your scared of opinion I can't see this post remaining.
