I'm sorry, Bert, but that's not going to happen. If we have to report and defend and debate deletions, it would only exacerbate the trouble caused by problem posts.... -Joe Offer-

Why would it exacerbate anything by always placing an editing comment to indicate where some form of censorship had taken place and briefly stating the reasons? The censor could also always identfy themselves.

It would be the open, honest and classy way to do it - if it had to be done at all. For then all posters would have all the evidence to be able to judge for themselves if the censorship action imposed in their name and in order to protect them was actually serving this purpose.
