Would it be too much too ask that deleted posts include a reason. One possibility could be taken from the reasons listing in the report mechanism, i.e.
1 Abusive content
2 Profane content
3 Pure stupidity
4 Racist content
5 Spam content
6 Other
I realise this may appear a rather bizarre curiosity since most folk won't have seen the offensive text, but I'm asking for a friend (who is possibility interested in carrying out a statistical analysis)!

"A statement will only be defamation in nature if it causes or is likely to cause serious harm to the individual referred to. So an opinion made in free speech may be distasteful or even false but might not be considered defamatory if no serious harm is done. On the flip side, trying to make a fact appear to be an opinion would not protect someone from a legal case."
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm not sure how many mods are, either.

TCL, likelihood, I would say. I was literally just wondering that- and this would never happen, if the rules were actually thought about...
But I wonder what percentage of mods would delete a post, if "in doubt", and how many would leave it, if "in doubt". We would obviously all prefer it to be left- but with no actual guidelines or reasons required... it goes without saying- that all mods are likely to make different decisions- and that all posters are likely to wonder, ask and derail.
I personally have no issues with mods or moderation here- except that it is obviously so irrational, as there is it each to their own.
