Deleting Posts

how do I delete a post?
I was going to delete a comment in the pictures thread but can't find a way to do this..

Simple answer is that you can't delete your own posts. If you need to delete a post, you can edit it with a comment of 'please delete' and either myself, Dave or Lissa will delete it for you.

I don't care to delete my own posts. I just want to delete other people's posts. :P

Why can't we delete posts?

To be honest, it is more a security thing. If it was allowed, then someone can come along, reek havoc with offensive posts or whatever, then delete them all as soon as a mod or administrator shows up. This software keeps records of posts so for that reason, we don't allow it.

Kiera:

Maybe we should take a poll about which posts should be deleted. Should I start one? ;)

Wasn't starting a poll after everyone has said that the topic was done, your idea?

Now you're making fun of the idea of it started like others joke about it at this point?

MrCC · 04-17-2005, 03:59 PM

I was actually talking to Kiera.

No need for a Poll as the current status on deleting your own posts is not going to change.

Yea, that's why I was joking - hence the winking smilie. ;) Don't worry I'm not starting any polls.
