Posts Deleted

What do you have to do to get your post deleted?

[Bobbin Threadbare]

I think we should get the option to delete our posts if it was the last post in the thread.

[Titan]

If it's a post thats filled with alot of smilies only, single word posts, single smilies post, pointless post, missplaced post, flaming, trolling... normal rules apply here

you mean "how do I delete my posts?", right?
if so the answer is: you can't! the feature was, supposedly (allthough there is no evidence :D ) abused, so it was removed.

[Kon-Tiki]

If you post a hideous flame, then're taken up on it by mods/admins, after which you delete that post, removing the evidence and claiming it never happened, is exactly such abuse ;)

There is evidence in my count to 1000 thread. :D

huh? :blink:

[Bobbin Threadbare]

After Tom and Titan delete the posts I lost count because they deleted their posts and we discuss it. Then it's locked again.

Abused? By who?

[Data]

There is no need for you to know that.

It doesn't matter. You just saw the explenation about how it could be abused. I think the same applies for the EDIT BY line.

I know I still have the option to choose if I'll add an EDITED BY at the bottom of an edited post, or simply edit it without it being shown. But I think only VIPs still have that (at least there was some talk about it).

No, my question was, what content qualifies someone to delete a post.
Data, I know I don't need to know how to delete my posts (only VIPs can do that, right?), but I was asking another question than the one you replied to.

you are correct. :ok:

it's described in the manual (allthough one would need access to the admin CP for that). and I suppose there are some bugs that would allow it too. Not that I would ever do it, offcourse. I just dislike not being able to do stuff I could before.

[The Niles]

Posts are deleted for breaking the rules.

The rules most commenly used (but these are informal) are that minor infractions are edited not deleted but if a post is (almost) entirely rule breaking then it will be deleted.

Now if you want to know what these rules are, right now it would be normal netiquete but I am working on more formal rules (yes Kosta I AM still working on them ;))

No. A VIP can edit a post without having the edited by mark at the bottom. We can't delete our own posts anymore (there was a time though - I deleted quite a few of mine after they weren't useful anymore - especially in the updaters' forum).

[Master MC]

I always find the 'edit' line quite annoying and it gives a lamish impression. I always try to do it in one shot.
Can VIPs alter other members's posts?

*edit*
DARNIT I spelled 'gives' 'gaves'.

[Sebatianos]

No. Being a VIP doesn't give you any power (only a few privilages: acces to VIP sub-forum, being able to edit your own posts without everyone knowing it...).

[Master MC]

I have always wondered... what's in that section? (Except for what the login page says.)

[Sebatianos]

Well, you'd just have to become one to find out (but I can assure you, the main page isn't quite correct, there aren't any movies or music in the VIP section).

[Master MC]

I accidentally stumbled upon the Life & Death 2 topic - and there you edited a guest's post!

[Sebatianos]

Yes, but that is because as an updater I'm also one of the moderators in the Game Discusion sub-forum. That's got nothing to do with me being a VIP (although people who moderate the board mostly also have the VIP status).

[Master MC]

O, okay, I get it.

[punch999]

I also was a mod in that section.

[Master MC]

What did you do wrong?

[ReamusLQ]

He was a mod for a short time as kind of a "trial run" to see if he was mod capable.

[punch999]

Not true!

It was taken away because I deleted posts instead of editing them and reporting!
