How come we can't do it anymore?

yeah for real, yesterday came to me and wanted to delete his post but i had to deny him that. whutchu guys tryin to hold a down for


really though, i have wondered this before because on other forums you can delete your own posts and stuff.

wait, i have the delete post option!

That's 'cause you have mod powers.


For real though, I thought even Official Members had the ability to delete their own posts.

You should. Gimme a second and I'll check to make sure.

Not yet.

What?! OM's can delete posts? No way! I thought only mods could, and even though they CAN, they're not supposed to.

No, we can't. It was brought up plenty of times, but never granted.

Shhhhh.




And I swear, I deleted one of my posts not too long ago.

I'm pretty positive you used to be able to. In any case, you can now.

Also, sorry it took so long. I locked myself out of my account.

Hey Dani can I have my modding position back, please?

WTF?

This newly found privilege is making my head spin!!!!!!!!

I just deleted and reposted my post.

MY POST COUNT STILL INCREASES?!

MY WORLD HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.

Heh, now that I think of it, I think we weren't given permission to delete posts so that we couldn't delete "evidence."

Wow if this becomes a problem, then I might have an idea of why it was disabled to begin with...

^x2 EXACTLY.

Actually it was more of a problem for the mods to be able to do it in case they abused their power. But if we delete our posts, can't the mods just find them again?

*deletes post*

Yeah don't these go to the mod trashcan?

^ Maybe that was just with topics though.

Weird. I always thought you guys could delete your posts, too. But I guess I can see why you couldn't. I don't think it'll be any issue letting people delete their posts.

Honestly, I don't either.




DANI PLEASE DON'T CLOSE AND MOVE UNTIL YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION. :D

Yeah, I'm clueless as to if the posts go to the trashcan or not, too.

^ Try looking through it? I just deleted a post that said exactly this:
Yeah I don't really care if the OMs delete their posts, as long as the mods can keep tabs on it. I usually just get more pissed off when the mods delete things in an unjustified manner (this rarely happens though).

EDIT// Shit, whenever I try to edit my post, I always click "Delete".

Can I just also take the time to say that I LOVE how I have no more flood control anymore. IT IS AWESOME. So much better than being able to delete posts.

Now, only if I could search for things with 3 or less characters...

Since Dani never came back, when you become a admin there is a trashcan that you see. Everything that is deleted is sent to there.

So if you delete your posts and they see something against the rules in it, they can warn you still I don't really think OM should be able to delete their posts, editing them is enough.

I think you guys are just use to when you were on staff and you could delete your posts if needed.

FOR REAL? When did that happen? Did I miss the memo?

Heh, that's a possibility.

I can't remember when it happened, but I when I read about it, I just about jumped out of my seat!

I don't have those powers I'm not and Admin.

You can't search for things with three letters I know you can when you search through the resources.

we really couldn't before, but coooooooooool thanks Dani <33

^ Yeah I know, I was just hoping I could . It gets really annoying when you tell someone to search for the "God" topic in debate and they're like...I CAN'T!

I forgot about the admin thing, poo.

Oh dang, you right about the flood control, I just clicked "find new posts" a ton of times and never got the flood notice! Sweet.

Holy crap, I can delete my posts!
