Shouldn't this be handled just as it would in the workplace...in private? I've even thought that the "reason for edit" at the bottom of the post was not necessary. I don't care if the OP wants to explain, but if a mod. deletes something d/t violation of TOS/whatever, I don't think that needs to be public knowledge. "Edited by moderator" would be explanation enough, IMO. Most of the time people have a pretty good idea why a post was edited by a mod., anyway.
I initially thought it was a good idea until I too say a "Warning" sign in red on a person's post. I think it needs to be private.
Speaking of editing - no reasons necessary, I agree.
Oh, a little peeve of mine - no big deal but it drives me a bit crazy to have to think of a title to my pm's to folks . . . you can't send unless it has a title.
Otherwise - I think all the mods and Brian are doing a good job (it is a hard job too).
