Here's the deal:

If somebody violates the rule, in all likelihood their post(s) will be deleted. This is all very well but what if not? I mean, I've seen topics closed by a moderator yet none of the posts that I (and I'm well aware of what's considered flaming blablabla :P) took as flaming blablabla have been removed to this day. So, I was like: What???

So I would only like to ask you one question: Does every single offensive/etc. post get removed, or does it only happen in case they have been taken as flooding, etc.? Thank you :)

Actually, Rukia, as far as I perceive, there are several factors that decide whether a post will be deleted or not, but the most important one (as I perceive, again) is the following:

Does the post add anything onto the discussion?

If it breaches the rule, but does such by adding something to the discussion (e.g. - I write a post telling how your story sucks and how you should stop writing attacking you with harsh words, but give feedback on the work as well), then that person would get a warning, but not have his post deleted. In case the post add NOTHING to the situation in hand AND breaches the rule, those posts will be most likely deleted.

That's how I perceive the method to be.

Thank you very much, Taylor. I just the same am awaiting a moderator to clear this up.

Are you talking about when a post is like warned and then hidden? Or when it is completely removed from the topic. Two different things.

Sometimes it says: This post has been removed. So it doesn't show the content anymore. I think that is what Rukia is talking about.

Lol. If that is the case, then Rukia asking a moderator secret. Which I do not know if I should reveal or not.

Based on what the infraction is, we can choose to delete it, hide it, or leave be. But it goes into more detail as to how warnings work and that is a secret I am not ready to reveal until a few changes happens.

Sorry.
