GBM, when I 1st saw your "remains though..." (as in "remains, nevertheless..."), I read "remains tough..." (as in "is still hard...") Anyway, I'm trying to address both construes without incurring in obscurantism, which (with its penchant for gagging others) is the very opposite of enlightenment.

I can't see any big issue here. What are the most common situations that call for deletion?
 * Spam
 * Delete it. Moreover, overwrite it with a cautionary sign: SPAM: DELETED, preferably in a most graphical style.


 * Crosspost
 * Delete it. Moreover, overwrite it with a cautionary sign: CROSSPOST: DELETED. And, as a matter of consideration to readers and educating crossposters, refer them to the single thread the post logically belongs.

Sure, any clueless noob mod might fear that such a policy would quickly escalate/degenerate to just another flame war. And might simply simplistically delete posts as they think as they were told to, "may this serve as an example." I can't see any better cautionary example (out of many) for every potential offender to see than here:
 * Personal attack
 * Even though the scope of "personal" varies —as it may not be the same as "against an individual", say when it's aimed at a clan or at a current of thought supported by a single identifiable poster—, just give the bashed party a few days to allow them to exercise their right of reply, and for passers-by (often from the silent majority) to voice their impressions.

An attention-thirsty OP (Over-the-top Pique) along with the kind of attention it duly attracted.
