If anyone would like to see these posts in question, they could email me if they like and have the opportunity to make your own determination as to if they are appropriate here.

> The rule in question that we are discussing is that deputies may delete posts of a particular nature as per the FAQ here, and it is fine to discuss rationales and the rules and such on this forum. The question that I see is {what is the definition of what is the rationale used to delete posts here?}

> LouFriends,
The TOS here writes,[...deputies may delete {grossly} inappropriate posts...].(citation P2)
The question that I see here is what is the rationale here for what is or is not {gross}?
The generally accepted meaning of {grossly} is that it is prominatly seen, or glaringly noticeable. It stands out, it is not hidden.
I ask: Is that something that all can see as to if what is posted stands out glaringly as being inappropriate or not? The generally accepted meaning of appropriate is that what is appropriate is {suitable or compatible with the occasion}. I ask: If the TOS here is that what is posted to be suitable here is to be {harmonious}, and that {harmonuious has a generally accepted meaning to be what is agreeable to the community, could that not be the rationale for deleting posts or not?
