Why are we at Orange?

I think it is easy enough to surmise what might have been said from Magoos response.

I personally feel respondents should not be censured by having their own reply deleted, just because the offending post was removed - doesn't seem fair to me, and in some way i think helps reinforce the moderation message, who gets the last word etc

But if everyone would be happier if all replies were deleted as well, that can be considered - I have actually yesterday posted my moderating process as a draft in the admin forum for other mods/admin to comment on so we can get everyone on the same page and moderating the same way...

Deletions are also intended to make folks think about their posts as they are typing them, I'm sure it will make one think twice if one spends however long concocting the perfect 'witty repertoire' (to steal a line from Magoo), if there is a risk it will be deleted...

There was more than a couple of rules broken in those posts...
