1. test messages

2. obvious trolls for flame wars. Keyword here: obvious

3. multiple identical posts

4. One to a few word replies sent back along with the ordinal post.  

Which of these four types of messages do you object being deleted? 


And by the way, the poll on 
http://www.asl-forums.net/main/viewtopic.php?t=774
is lame, IMO. 

"Low" is defined as "Spam only"
"Medium" includes test messages and "really offensive" posts
"High" includes off-topic posts and long drawn out threads
"Extreme" is any insult, bad language, humor, etc...

I'd consider "Low" to be Spam, Test Messages, Really Offensive Posts and
anything grossly off-topic.
