Whacking a post or marking it unreadable-What's the difference?

Why do some admin completely whack a post, making it disappear, and some leave it and have the "This post is marked unreadable"
Is the latter kind of a warning that you crossed the line and need to shape up?

In some cases unreadable is to let the poster know that a line was crossed. In others there may be legitimate responses we don't want to get rid of.
We will hide posts and responses when it derails the thread.

I had a post marked unreadable, but it was quoted by another poster and that was left alone-so it was easily seen and easy to figure out what my post was. why werent both marked unreadable?

TF, should we RA if we see that? If so, what option for RA'ing should we use?
Or should we just ignore it?

Marking a post unreadable sends a message to the whole board.
It's a subtle distinction.

This
The only message that sends is "This guys posted something he shouldn't have, but I don't get to know what it was"
