It is not bullshit; it is done to keep this forum more focused rather than cluttered with meaningless crap that 99% of the members don't want to sift through. There is no need to warn people before a post is deleted as it is clearly stated in the rules that this will happen when the rules are violated. I am being courteous by deleting posts that don't follow the rules; it would be rude not to.
One thing I must say is that there is much less flaming here than I have seen on many other sites.
