Can I ask the criteria for you deleting posts?
Several have been deleted that have been truthful and not offensive yet other posts have been left that have upset many people.

Hello there,
We delete posts according to the criteria in our Talk Guidlines, and also according to whether they are reported or not (as it's just impossible for us to see every single post on the board). That said, if we delete more than a couple of posts in one thread then we do try to go through the whole thread to be consistent.
If there are particular posts that are troubling you, please report them (you can still report if they've been deleted) and we can let you know what our thinking was.
Thanks, MNHQ

Hi minimu. That thread's been blasted now , but the posts by that OP you mentioned were deleted along with the others when we had a good trawl through it today.
If we delete, it's generally because we do think it contained a personal attack or was inflaming an already bad-tempered situation. Obviously this is a matter of interpretation though, so we'll probably never achieve 100% agreement on whether deletion was justified or not.
So really the only answer is for you all to behave with perfect courtesy at all times
