When people quote a removed post, it is supposed to be removed for "Reply to Removed Post". They say it is for organization. Fine. That is a legit reason and I will go by that. Every single time I remove for that, I always get shit.  I explain it, and they eventually understand.

I usually, if not always make an attempt to PM the member, asking them to edit it first, or it will be removed. It is just easier, and nicer to them. When you remove for this, do you just go ahead and hide, or do you PM them. I think, because they do not know that what they quoted is removed, it would be nice of us to PM them about it.

Ideas?

As I can edit, if their post has more to it than just the quote, I may edit out the quote and leave their "actual" reply. If it is only in response to the quote, I just delete, and let them figure it out.

Well, you can edit Jenny!

I don't like telling them to edit because I feel I'm encouraging spam/no-contrib.

If I feel they have some special circumstance I report it and say something like "_____ contributes, just edit out quote?" or whatever the reason is, in the box.

I wrote a FAQ just so that I wouldn't have to explain it to them fresh every time.

I assume that FAQ is given to them every time they get the "Reply To Removed Post" reason, right?

LOL

When I suggested that to the person that deleted it, he told me to submit an MER.  Then I told him that typically I message the person, and he said, "well that's your way, this is my way"

You SL's are too friendly these days.
