Post Deletion Is Justified -- An Account That Has Never Had Posts Deleted Is Not a Good Account

Post deletion is justified! An account that has never had posts deleted is not a good account. If none of your posts have ever been deleted, it only means you've never said anything worth deleting -- which means you've never said anything worth saying at all.

This lady wears post deletions as badges of honor. Every deleted post represents a boundary pushed, a nerve struck, a truth too uncomfortable for someone in power to tolerate. The censors are the truest literary critics -- they always identify the most powerful passages.

Of course, not every deleted post is a masterpiece. Sometimes posts get deleted for being genuinely offensive or spam. But when a thoughtful, well-argued post gets deleted, it means you've touched the untouchable. That's when you know you're doing something right.

The forums that matter are the ones where the censors are busy. A completely uncensored forum might sound like paradise, but in practice it's usually a wasteland. Tension between expression and suppression is what creates the energy that makes forums worth reading.

So to all forum users: if your posts never get deleted, you're not trying hard enough. Go out there and write something worth deleting. The censors are waiting, and they're the only audience that truly matters.
