I see. Still, in the past I thought to myself multiple times that it
seems strange that in general we can only *add* to the audit trail,
nothing can be removed. I understand that can be also a freedom of
expression issue, if you see what I mean, but in some extreme cases,
like pure and obvious spam, shouldn't we have a way to remove things?!?
Maybe somebody, endowed with appropriate privileges, should simply do
that by hand, on a case by case basis?
Thanks,
Paolo.
