Why do some posts get marked unreadable but some get removed from the thread?

Show of strength by the admins. Speak softly and carry a big stick.

This is what we were taught in Admin School. A 'deleted' post sends a message to the individual poster. A post marked 'unreadable' sends a message to the entire board.

It just says unreadable and that's it. How effective is the message to the entire board supposed to be if no one has any idea why it was marked unreadable other than assuming an admin had a problem with it?

It sends a message of "don't say anything stupid; bannings will occur."

Who am I, the Amazing Kreskin? I didn't say it made any sense. I'm just telling you what we were taught.

Bump

Also, I have seen the red unreadable thing , and then someone is quoting that post below ...well if that is the case, that post ain't so unreadable now is it. Should the original post and all the quotes take from the original post be marked red.

I must be showing too much restraint. Not had it happen yet.

When I see a post that's marked unreadable, first thing I do is look at the replies to see if someone quoted it.
