So perhaps in future all editing comments ... are always provided to indicate where and why any form of censorship action was judged to be necessary?

Please, not. I see so many (and guess I only see a small fraction of them) spam and complete nonsense posts from GUESTs with a name I see here for the first time that I want these posts to be removed without any comment.

Shambles' wish is in particular nonsensical in the many cases in which an old thread with no post in the last three or more years is refreshed by a spam mail. The present way to deal with that ensures that the spammed thread does not appear in the menue. I do not want to open a dozen threads (like a week or so ago) with no relevant new post to it. If the editing comments were inserted in the last relevant post in order not the refresh the thread, noone would see these comments.

After 6 years, you should be able to come up with a better thought-out suggestion than that, Shambles.
