Double/blank posts only -- and then with a mod note in one of the deleted posts, something like "four duplicate posts removed by the mod."

I consider mod edits to post content kind of bastardy -- even broken tags can sometimes be used as the basis for accusations by readers (and if you think that's wrong, vote the player accusing based on it, etc.) or as a deliberate "oops" by a player to look less on top of it than they really are. If
anyone
could've seen something that was in the thread,
everyone
should be able to.

I've also seen moderators fully abuse the power to edit strictly for laughs...and that REALLY pisses me off. Everything in a player post should be generated by the name to the
left
of the post except in extreme circumstances of misconduct -- and then it should be clear which parts are due to edit and by whom.
