From here
it would be nice, if the admin states where he edits posts.
Posts are almost never edited by the mods because it changes what was written. If a post is offensive anywhere it is normally deleted whole. Rare exceptions would be an otherwise valuable post which contains an offensive line, particularly if it is judged as potentially causing a valuable poster to leave the forum. And that was the case with one of your recent ones, mh, where a direct personal attack was removed. Just be polite…
Would you prefer the mod to append something like [ offensive statement removed ] ?
Maybe it is a cultural thing, but EuroGA is an English language forum, and starting a post with a flat “no they aren’t” would also not be regarded as tactful by most people who speak it 
BTW the % of deleted posts runs at only about 0.2%

yes. It’s a cultural thing :-)

Maybe, but it’s true nonetheless.
EuroGA was set up and is run to promote general aviation activity, knowledge, meet-ups, and to provide a nice pleasant discussion site for all these things.
This is incompatible with a desire by a particular poster to post material which doesn’t comply with the Guidelines and which then creates work for the mods.
Accordingly, and especially if only a phone is to hand, the entire post will be removed and you will have wasted your time writing it.

One paragraph in the guidelines:
Don’t make things up. We want our forums to be thought of as reliable, so we’d like to avoid speculation or story-telling from taking hold and becoming a half-truth.
There is a blurred line between making things up, and discussing stuff that aren’t obvious or clear for some. But isn’t this almost always the case? None of us are walking encyclopedia for every single little detail about GA. So why have that paragraph in the first place? Anyway, since the paragraph IS in the guidelines, I can only agree 100% with mh. He is correct about the topic, AND observing the guidelines.
but seriously.
I was chatting yesterday with a captain of the food industry (chairman of a major supermarket).
He reckons that there will be major civic unrest and breakdown of order within two months of the kind of Brexit we are probably going to get; CBIRs will be the least of our problems.
Captains of industry would rent their grandmother to a whorehouse, for a 5% rise in the share price.

Now 10%. All the five per centers have already done that.

Possibly, but how is that relevant to what Timothy wrote?
The captain of pubs thinks it is a good idea, so we will get there for sure !
Never mind for aviation, food, finance, housing, medics…as long as the booze is ok
