There is no need for you to know that.

Abused? By who?

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).

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

you mean "how do I delete my posts?", right?

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.

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.

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).
