Perhaps you have answered your own question.  Certainly, things are looking
somewhat broken at this point.  Mind you, r.g.c.c. is even more broken, but I
will not argue that no improvement is possible.  So, let's be constructive.
What should change for the system to work better?

I will start with some possibilities:
    1. Before a post removal can take place, there must be agreement by two
moderators, or one moderator plus someone from ICD.  This may be a good balance
between "timely post removal" and "unnecessary post removal".
    2. Possibly some mechanism to view deleted posts?  But this kind of defeats
the purpose of deleting them, so I don't know how good that would be.
    3. Remove posts, not people (except at their own request).  It would be
necessary to have some sort of "moderator-must-approve-this-post" mechanism to
avoid abuse of the kind seen in the past, though.

Hmm.  All good choices!  I am thinking perhaps Ernst Heinz and the DarkThought
team will pull it off.  But of course, I don't really know, that is why we hold
the competition!
