I was referred to this bug by Steve McInerney when I requested a specific post be removed.

Apparently making changes on a live database with raw SQL updates is for special occasions only (such as removing spam). Meanwhile, Launchpad admins deny valid requests from users to delete unintentional or duplicate posts that may contain unwanted and sometimes sensitive information.

This makes little sense as Launchpad users who spends time and effort improving Launchpad bugs are being ignored. If spam (unsolicited/unrelated posts by strangers) can be removed, there is no reason why reasonable post removal requests by valid users should be denied.
