Occasionally, I will see a post that has PG (or even PG-13)
rated content. The offensive flag can be applied to these posts.
Should I wait for the community to declare it offensive and have
the post removed, should I edit the post to remove the offensive
content, or should I do both?  Return to FAQ Index

Since the community has awarded you with enough reputation
points to edit posts, the community trusts you to do the right
thing when you see offensive posts: You should trust your own
judgment too, and do what you feel is necessary in the
particular situation.  share|improve this answer If only there

Reputation points doesn't equal Trust no matter how you slice
it. Reputation points just identifies you for how much you've
contributed to the community. –  Dalin Seive
