At the end, the policy says that the policy does not force the mods to delete anything. Perhaps it should in the same breath also say that it does not prevent them from deleting anything. The judgement of the mods and admins is final and above the policy; the purpose of the policy is to inform them and the readership of the general principles that will be applied.

This is my attempt to codify the informal rules I've been working by.
I'll leave this post up for a bit, but strongly suspect that it will have to be deleted not too long thereafter. I haven't been particularly encouraged to try responding to comments, either. Nonetheless, if there's something I missed, let me know.
