The situation:
A post is otherwise valid, on-topic, and constructive but contains vulgar words as an expression of frustration, or content that otherwise violates the Be-Nice policy.
The question:
Is "deviation from intent" a valid rejection / rollback reason for edits removing the vulgar words or content that otherwise violates the Be-Nice policy?
The Caveats:
- If the person rejecting / rolling back the edit is the OP, the next step would obviously be to raise a flag, no question about it.
- If the person rejecting / rolling back the edit is a moderator, either flagging for further review or taking it to meta would be the next step.
What next:
If the person rejecting / rolling back the edit is some member of the community (not the OP or a moderator) and is using deviation from intent as the reject / rollback reason, what should be done?
We're not supposed to flag the post (at least using the rude/abusive flag) if it is an otherwise valid post that can be edited to remove the bad part, and we can't edit the post again because that would qualify as an edit war.
Are we just supposed to leave the vulgar words or content that otherwise violates the Be-Nice policy as is?
