That does sound reasonable. But your link didnt fully give that impression. I was first concerned with whether he only said it there or actually requested it. But it appears a request was made. He didnt say to who. But apprently it was to a moderator which would be proper.
Im not sure though it a list was provided such as specifically which posts he wanted fixed. Im not sure if deleting a thread is proper, but deleting the link definitely would be.

Especially in this case, where the mods are also paid(?) employees of the company.

I do not think there are any paid moderators at this time. There has been a "head moderator" paid position but I think the co-owner fills that now.

Despite what you claim, nothing I've suggested is "above and beyond" common courtesy. What I've suggested is, in fact, the very essence of common courtesy. There's no reason that the admins can't remove a banned users work if that's what he wants, except for a level of spite and immaturity that is unacceptable for admins. it is unnaceptable for users to be spiteful and immature, too, but of course the users in question have already been banned.

Im not sure Id agree that there is no reason not to delete. In fact I would think there is more reasons not to delete than there is to delete (altho I do think there is good reason to make some deletions). But either way I definitely think the use of "common courtesy" is straining things. Courtesy yes, but common does not ring true at all. Such a request being done on forums would be quite uncommon to the extreme as far as I can tell.
