Keep in mind that moderators do wish to avoid leaving open the possibility in people's minds that content was actually removed rather than hidden, which can become an issue when it involves members who are charging the moderator team with bias.
I can understand the attempt to not edit or remove posts for this very reason. The policy helps to show an honest attempt by the moderation team to be without bias.
brennakimi made an excellent point, and I experienced his very point thanks to HEWG. I was at work and viewing that post, though I don't stand much chances of a reprimand I was somewhat mad. I go to EvC at work because I can always claim to be educating myself if caught. There is no need for pictures of semi naked women practicing sign language.
I would prefer if EvC moderation would follow AdminPD, regardless of the attemt to leave posts un-edited if HEWG continues I will be unable to visit EvC from work.
