Uppy Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 .... Would be pretty cool then to have the moderator have to do it. What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Don't know about this, you could also preview post first. And why do you want to delete a post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion_13 Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 well what about if you accidently double post. or you say something then half an hour later you have changed your mind and luckily no one has looked at it yet, you could delete it instead of editing it to something like."nevermind, I changed my mind"I think it would be very useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 It would indeed be useful being able to delete your own posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akya Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I think only the members have that power...besides...it may cause problem if one was able to insult someone, wait till that person reads it and then delete the post b4 the moderator has the time to view it.

Lorian Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Maybe moderators can see deleted posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Yeah then it would be ok, but I don't know if that would be possible. But if not then also the deleted post shouldn't count for your amount of posts, because otherwise you could post, delete, post etc. and get a much higher post count.

Lorian Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Yeah, good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoggyFrog Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I imagine with these sorts of issues, there's the admin log (or something of the nature) to review. Besides, we are a mature community that won't resort to such abuses, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Good point, although someone could sign up and start doing stuff, maybe you can only delete your own posts after a certain amount of posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawen Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Yeah, I like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uppy Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I agree totally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 That could be a nice feature. But I don't think Tim is interested, he still hasn't replied here yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Maybe he hasn't seen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Well I like the idea. Best would be if we have a "delete post" button that would ask you a "Reason" for your desire to delete it. Then the post disappears and a moderator reviews the reason and then either deletes the post totally and makes it visible again.If we don't have it this way, people could easily make a thread senseless if they delete a post that a lot of talk went about.What do you think?

Lorian Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Nice idea Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 That's a nice idea.But maybe, have the post not become deleted until the moderator okays it.Or make it at least able to tell that the post was deleted.Or else the discussion could still be messed up this way.-Long discussion-Important post deleted-People get confused about post being deleted-They discuss the deleting-Moderator un-deletes it-People who weren't present earlier get confused about people talking about being confused about post being deleted because the post that was supposedly deleted turns out not to be deleted and there is a discussion about how the people who talked about the post that was deleted, although it wasn't, are not in their right minds-Then people who were accused of not being in their right minds because of the deleted post that wasn't deleted accuse the people (who accused them of being not in their right mind) of not being in their right minds and that they should have realized the post was deleted and undeleted.etc.(That was fun to type) Okay, that's not ever going to happen, but something less severe and similar could happen.

akya Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 (edited) What Tim suggested is very reasonable I'm for it. Edited October 26, 2004 by akya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Yeah that's good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Alright, added it to my TODO list. Has a bit less of a priority though at the moment. I hope you understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Maybe you could make a topic with your TODO list and then if we want something to be added we could post it in that topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Nah, well you can just keep mentioning new things in new topics and I will always add them to my list.Most things need discussion first before they will be added, so posting my TODO and then discuss it would lead to nowhere.

Argalius Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hmm, didn't think it like that way. Ok stupid suggestion, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
