RPC has moved! These pages have been kept for historical purposes

Moderators, administrators, and technical staff have convened to review the pre-existing rules pertaining to post deletion and/or removal. After some discussion, new features have been implemented. The site staff's stance, however, remains more or less as it was with regards to potential abuse cases.

For the sake of clarity, clear language, and addressing any misunderstandings, the following phrasings will embody our stance on this issue moving forward:

Edit History has been implemented. Edit History can only be viewed by moderation staff. Due to this added feature, users are now allowed to blank their post(s) and/or request that their post(s) be deleted by reporting the post(s) to the moderators, either through use of the report function or via Private Message.

Moderators will review deletion requests on a case-by-case basis. Posts will be archived at the discretion of the moderator. Innocuous deletion requests (such as removing one's own advertisement in the Making Connections forum or removing a redundant post in the Town Square forum) will generally be approved and acted upon.

Edits that break the context or continuity of a discussion will be subject to moderator review, and we encourage users to report posts that they suspect of such.

Users have always been and will always be allowed to edit, revise, or alter any portion of content on any post they make.

Users are now permitted to omit or remove any and all content on any post they make.

The RPC site staff has reviewed these policies extensively and concluded that the above best addresses both the concerns of this community as well as the needs of the moderation staff as they pertain to fostering civil discussions. Consequently, these are the rules on post removal/deletion moving forward. They are not subject to change under the current administration unless a consensus that the ruling is inadequate is reached by the staff. Any users who may feel that additional extensive discussion is necessary may post in the Off-Topic Discussion forum.
