Can we agree to draw a line under all that stuff and move on with a clean slate?
three people, including myself, have now requested this.

While I'd like a fresh start,
I also strongly feel that Rant should be a place that you're not going to get the fucking sack if your employer looks at the forum. Potential new posters also shouldn't see stuff that discriminates against them . I might be mistaken, but I don't think there's anything discriminatory on the forum, that stuff was long ago. In fact, maybe some old threads should be deleted to emphasise the clean start, though I know the bigoted trolls' stuff was already deleted.
That's just my personal take, I'm open to being persuaded otherwise (except for the points I highlighted in bold and italics, those are non-negotiable for me).
In terms of stuff that really shouldn't find any place on a public forum inhabited by decent people, i'm in total agreement. I'm happy to remove any threads or posts that anyone flags up to me. Max Clifford/Harry's posts were all removed when Ed deleted his user. pint vulger/United Road's posts were not. If that needs to be done then I can do that as well, however what I CAN'T do is clear out any quotes of those posts and, indeed, there's plenty of quotes of Harry's shit still accessible.
