edit/delete thread

Mabdog · 06-30-2010, 01:21 AM

is what it says when you move the cursor over the edit button.. but as far as I know there is no deleting a message. Am I missing something?

Only mods can delete stuff. I think Goat's reasoning was that it would be too disruptive if you could delete posts/threads.

Mabdog · 06-30-2010, 02:30 AM

makes sense.

Yeah that would change everything

Nokes · 06-30-2010, 02:36 AM

well, what if you could delete your own threads?

I think you should be able to delete your own thread if it has 0 replies. A lot of forums have that as the rule.

I think you should be able to delete or close it whenever you want.

Slime · 06-30-2010, 07:46 AM

but then all the shameful threads would be gone, that would be terrible

I'd like to delete all my shitty movies except KNIGHT (and the chain movies, obviously) but I don't want to do it Raynor style.

And you obviously shouldn't be able to delete archived/classic threads

Yeah, it's annoying enough when people edit out entire posts. The classic "what did he originally say?"
