Just my $.02, but I think we need two things.  When a post is deleted,
*something* needs to be put in its place, so that at least others can notice
that a post was removed.  Even better, a short note in the 'replacement post'
would be even better.

deleting things helter-skelter isn't going to cut it, IMHO.  I am not going to
waste a lot of time trying to answer technical questions here, and then have to
continually go back and check on them to see if something was deleted because
I wasn't quite polite enough.  IE an audit trail is needed.  Because the
moderators work for 'us', just as when I was a moderator I worked for 'you'...
and it will avoid a lot of suspicion and distrust if everyone 'knows' what is
going on (or not going on).
