New postbuster guideline: Do not delete at request of a friend

Recently a post was improperly deleted from USA East. Apparently a postbuster deleted that post at the request of a friend, though the post did not deserve deletion under any of our postbuster guidelines. To help postbusters resist such pressure to delete a post, we have added a new postbuster guideline:

14. Do not delete a post at the request of a friend. Instead, relay the request to another postbuster who will be able to make a decision without being influenced by the pressure of friendship.

The postbuster who made the improper deletion is being given a second change. If there is a repeat offense, that postbuster's password will be disabled.
