I would be interested to hear your thoughts on whether the moderators should have the power to modify or delete posts abritrarily.
I am all for moderation inasmuch as ensuring the rules are adhered to. ie. no personal attacks, keep to the subject (to some extent) but I do not agree that a moderator should be able to edit or delete posts without at the very least explaining why.
Unexplained deletions can be construed as heavy-handed censorship, and does nothing to encourage debate. I for one would not be interested in participating any further if any more unexplained deletions occur.
