February 21, 200620 yr Was this feature taken down or turned off by accident? i was trying to delete a triple post i posted and i couldnt find the delete button.
February 21, 200620 yr I believe everyone can still edit your own posts, but only those in certain "groups" are able to delete your own post. Can't remember exactly how that worked, but I think that is it.
February 21, 200620 yr Why's that? It wasn't always like this. Isn't it quicker and more convenient to let people delete their own posts when they feel they suck? Just wondering what the reason for this change was...
February 21, 200620 yr Changed it a few months ago actually, it was being abused by some users. They would post, delete, post, delete, and repeat in order to boost thier post counts... and yes I am serious so I had to limit it to smaller groups for at least the time being. Also deleting one's posts was sometimes used when they would be proven wrong and would make reading a thread confusing afterwards, Covering your tracks is not it's intended purpose.
February 21, 200620 yr Wow. I assumed if you delete your post it wouldn't count...either way that's sad, and weird in a way. That second reason is understandable...so how much do I pay for the post-deleting priviledge?
February 21, 200620 yr With all the repost threads I make, it sure would come in handy :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
February 21, 200620 yr Not really I never allowed regular members to delete their own topics, just their own posts.
