Do you want to be able to delete posts/comments as you see fit or should it be moderated?

Ban

ETA: I failed insanejournal. Please refer to the post above.
To make this post relevant, should this asylum allow the deletion of comments and posts? (Though you can ask a Mod to delete accidental posts/Mods can delete spam.)
May seem like an odd question, but I've seen some insanity in online communities where deletions of comments and posts caused lots of drama. I'd like to avoid that. Not saying we've been very drama filled, but I'm thinking about when hopefully this place expands.
However an asylum is nothing without its members so I'll leave it up to you fine folks to vote it out.

tl;dr Do you want the option to delete (posts and comments), even if it could incur drama, or do you want deletions to be only in certain circumstances (troll, spam, accident, post breaks rule/TOS...)? Also, should the Original Poster (OP) be allowed to delete both other memeber's comments in the OP's post?

Voting starts now. Will end April 25th. For now deletion is okay.

Feel free to add any suggetions, comments and concerns.

Not Another Meme: Banned Books

100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000 (US)

For a little fun, list what books you're read on the list. Feel free to use a list more relevant to your location.
What do you think of the books banned? Do you think they deserve to be banned?


Ironically enough most of the books I've read that were "banned", were school requirements. I'm not a big fan of banning, but I could see why some younger kids would want to opt out of reading certain books. Though most of the list made me think "why the heck is that banned?".
