I have sort of shied away from moderating comments at all, for a simple reason: if we delete the stupidest comments, we remove the evidence by which the worst commenters can be identified as repeat offenders. I wish the deleted comments were removed from the posts, but still visible in the archive for individual users, with an annotation that they've been removed.
