How do I remove other people's posts?
I was a fan of someone and decided I didn't want to see anymore of their posts. So I removed them from my fan's list, but all their posts stayed. So how can I remove their posts?
While experimenting I noticed that if they were my friend and I removed them, then all their public posts were removed but not their private posts to me. Why does it keep their private posts or is that a bug?
I do like the fact that if you delete a post that has replies, that all the replies associate to it are removed too. That is very slick.

Inappropriate?When you remove someone you're a fan of, you will no longer continue to receive their notes. Think of it similar to an inbox of notes received.

Inappropriate?I have already figured out how to prevent any new posts from coming in. What I want to know is how do I get rid of the ones I already have.
Example:
What if I fan an individual that I am not too familiar with. I check some back posts and see that they are funny and decided to give them a try. Then later they go on a tear where they start posting items that I find disrespectful or inappropriate, but not bad enough to where it needs moderates to investigate, but enough to where I do not want to see these things anymore. It makes sense to me that by removing them off my fan list, that those posts are removed too. Although if they were my friend, all those posts would been deleted the moment I removed them. So why the difference?
On Twitter (I only compare because you are similar applications) if I remove anyone from whom I am following, it will remove all their posts. It does not see a difference between someone that might be following me (friend) and someone I am just following (fan).
So do you see my point? Your opinion would be appreciated.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?The lack of consistency is admittedly confusing and we have discussed looking into this! Thanks for your feedback.

Inappropriate?When I first created an account on Pownce I added Leah Culver as a fan to see how Pownce worked. Who better to follow then the lead developer. After awhile I decided I had seen enough and wanted to start posting on a clean slate. Unfortunately that is not who things work on Pownce.
So now I am left with two options. I could just ignore them and move on, but my anal retentiveness is not allowing me to do this. Or I can rudely ask Leah Culver to be my friend, not to build a lasting friendship, but to then have the ability to finally remove her non-offensive posts from my page. Same problem but different example.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?This exact same thing happened to me. In a world of data overload I like to delete things I don't want. Is there a reason why I can't delete old posts of people I am no longer a fan of?
Great product btw other then this one thing.
I’m happy that pownce is going to fix this soon!

Currently this works more like an inbox than a feed - but we have thought through what is more intuitive to users on these issues, so your feedback is helpful!
