I'm a tech moderator for many groups. We run into people who post a comment that is highly offensive or illegal (death threats). As moderators or site managers, how can we delete such postings from the stories or photos we publish on NowPublic ?
Thanks.

Hey Joanne.
Here's the URL: http://my.nowpublic.com/strange/censored-barack-obamas-mother-not-u-s-citizen-either#comment-584478
Its the single comment to 'kill obama' or to that direct affect. If the poster had said 'hang obama for treason after a public trial' that would have been purely fictional and actually a known legitimate historical legal process. But what he posted was a straight, cold threat. In email world, likely not a serious one, but in any event, can't have that coal start a fire across the lines of fair debate and intercourse online. Thanks.
His other comments, however disparaging are free by us to remain. Just NOT the death threat without proper context.
