No moderation is decidedly not the way to go. I do not think that removing her message and a PM would have been ideal, either, because she did not post originally as a registered member; it's just not practical. I think a lock and a reply as a moderator would be a good approach because:

It will be consistent. That way, no one can say that they are being unfairly picked on. Granted, right now, people still can say that we do this to everyone, but since it is different posters at different times, it can seem like BtN is against someone. That is not to say that I disagree with it; given the way things are, I would rather see the self-moderation like this than nothing. Anyway, a reply by a mod wearing a "mod hat" would be most effective, I think, because that way, people can separate the poster from the moderator rather than think that posters just always reprimand like this.

Honestly, I think you need help. You're the only active mod right now, and I know you prefer not to be strict about it, but then, we have things like this. I think that some sort of medium needs to be reached. Not that I do not think you are effective -- I think your replies are fair, level-headed, and make good judgment calls -- but I do think that more needs to be done in addition.
