If you reported my post, though, it would just be you knowing that you did that, and a moderator would deal with it, and if it were indeed a post that I needed to receive a warning for, I'd get a card. Perhaps a couple of people would notice that my post had vanished into thin air. But that would be that. It wouldn't be pinned on an equivalent of a notice board, pointing out to everyone that "Kit has been naughty!"
I mean, it wouldn't be the end of the world if that happened, and I doubt anyone would really care, but I figure that if something's been dealt with, leave it be.
A post that has been edited by a moderator does make me curious, that's true
. Only for a split-second, though, and I can't say that I remember any names of people that's happened to.
Anyway, for me it would be a minor embarrassment. But what about people who have a big public mental breakdown? It does happen, I've seen it. That would be horrible to have on display for people to read later on.
