Students have OFTEN posted from an anonymous account asking for advice on what to do with mentors. There are many anon joke accounts. There are several threads which have broken these rules, and instead of being taken down, have been locked by a moderator.

What I am getting at is that CD mods don't remove posts on a whim, but from my perspective, the rules are not neutrally enforced.

Valid points, discretion is used when applying this rule, as it probably should be. In this particular case, reasonable minds may disagree. Google still has that thread cached FWIW. Nothing can truly be "deleted" once it's been crawled.
