Sun Tzu,
Thank you for your thoughtful comments on the matter.
As you've said, it really is what being a mod is all about.
Mod's do indeed make judgements on the 'quality' of posts all the time, but most members don't notice it because a) the asshats have been banned, or b) the comment has been edited or removed.
But I can promise you that we never ban/edit/remove for petty or small reasons.
No, the person/comment has to be out of line or so rude/stupid/worthless that several mods agree (we agonize over these things more than you guys know).
As to the pic thing, it is just an extension of this process. For a while, they just became another flame weapon in Politics; hence we removed them. But even then, in the spirit of allowing as much free speech as possible, we only removed them to "Humor".
I hope that helps some and I'm sorry for the thread jack. If anyone wants to continue this, I suggest PM's or another thread.
