It would be good to be able to flag inappropriate postings in general. I've seen some comments at times that were just senseless insults with no point at all.

Apologies for the delay, but I've now deleted the posting.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. But I'd like to broaden it to 'Report as Inappropriate.' This would include spam, and extremely offensive language (if a poster gets X votes against him, he's banned from whynot.net). And it would include stuff that misses the point of this website (e.g. "why not an anti-gravity car?")
