Most of the time, words are outright removed from the posts. Sometimes the meaning can get totally destroyed in a post, however; that is when a less coarse editing approach needs to be taken. My own editions remove pertinent context that is inappropriate, but otherwise not demeaning of the post. Context editions usually tag along with content editions in this sense. Content edits often vary. Sometimes, a highly discouraging method is used every once in a while known as a "content replacement", and more recently a "smiley redaction". Small portions of offensive test can be dealt with more easily than large portions of offensive text. Likewise, they are dealt with more severely. Editions in this category include personal and wide attack replacements, as well as propaganda insertions. It is good news and bad news that personal and wide attacks are scarce, however. The good news is, personal and wide attacks are scarce, but are also very bad. The bad news, as a result of this, is that I do not get to insert more propaganda into them and dish out as many warnings. Oh darn.

What does redaction mean?
