Hi Ed -- moderators only edit posts in the following cases...

1) When a one-line reply is sufficient to answer a poster's question. This is in following with the overall board rules discouraging one-line replies and helps reduce clutter amongst the board, plus gets the answers to people faster.

2) When there is meaningful content in the post worth keeping, but also some content that goes against the board rules. Mostly, this gets deleted as well, but there are instances where it is not.

3) To clean up excess information, like someone posting the entire TWD or an advisory from a storm. These are available on the front page and from numerous other websites and not needed...but there's no need to just delete the posts.

Anything bad/banned gets deleted.

Edit: just for clarity, I meant this as more of a "this is what I've seen" as opposed to a "this is our standard operating practice" type of post. Sorry for any confusion!

Just my thoughts on the matter...
