Oliver Salzburg http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/ec198cb6fc38d98bb88dd390e0bed8e3?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG Oliver Salzburg answered: The edit link. Then the SuperUser Automatic Corrector ;)

Off-topic and excess information can be removed. If the post is still not salvageable, explain to the OP how they can fix it (if possible), and if not, let the community close it or close it on sight (if clearly off topic).

There's also been a few times that I post it on chat for someone to work on the edit if I can't do it. However, I must admit I do use the VTC and Deletion flags a lot on post that are, IMO not salvageable.
