Update, October 15 2011:
I've made some changes and improvements...

We use soft-delete and leave the posts where they are, so we can see them in context.

We either soft delete if it's an entire post that needs to go or I do allow moderators to edit posts but they must leave a warning in the post saying that they done that.

So the authors of the warned and soft-deleted posts have no way to redeem themselves. Whereas if their posts were hidden from other members under a placeholder but still editable, it would be possible.

moderators cannot edit posts on gV.
if they 'warn' (actually, they infract as we dont use the xf warn system) a big red message appears in the post detailing why the infraction was issued. the combination of the unedited post and the red notification makes it pretty clear to all members where the lines are drawn.
if it is a serious matter mods can unapprove the post and send it to the moderation queue to be actioned by the administrator.

I wouldn't say that at all, I only ever removed posts if the infringements is very, very serious. A Small edit with a warning is much more preferred for me. We don't attach a giant edit in red writing or something, we add a little note saying we may an edit and that's it. Then we talk to the user in question, if it was a warn able offence then they'll get a warning, if not then they might get a 0 points warning that expiries in 1 day just so we can keep track. We make it very clear to our members what they have to improve on.

Unfortunately editing each offensive post manually or engaging in a lengthy PM exchanges just plain doesn't scale for a forum with ~10k posts per day. Offloading the editing work on the members themselves is the main rationale behind the idea I'm lobbying for.

Does anyone know if it's possible to quote the post that you are warning with something like {quote}, and send it in the conversation? I ask this because if a post is deleted, a link is very relative.

I'd like that too.

One issue we have now is that users cannot see their own warning history. Is there a way to do that? Or do they have to be able to see all warnings?

 

[bcercan]

How can I make a temporarily no posting system ? for example 2 points 3 day posting suspension, 5 points 7 days posting suspension but all warn points should remove after 30 days

 

[Mike]

Only bans support time based actions (rather than points threshold based actions).

 

[limboclub]

Warning points?
