We should be able to delete our own, non-topic, posts.

I can't think of a single way that this would prove useful. In fact, I feel that it's more likely to be abused rather than properly used.

Yeah I see that causing more problems than it fixes.

I would probably delete your post.

Er. You mean you can't?

I just naturally expected that you could.

Your years of power abuse have clearly corrupted your memory.

To add to my first post - if I was suddenly given the ability to delete posts, I would delete the contents of this thread then take it upon myself to convince staff it didn't happen.
You can't give that sort of power to the average user, because it will only cause problems.

Particularly if someone gets offended, which seems to happen quite frequently as of late...

Staff can look at deleted posts, as well as undelete them if they feel so inclined. And the idea is clearly that normal users can only delete their own posts, not the posts of others. That would be dumb and broke.

I misunderstood him, I thought he meant "us" as the general non-empowered users.

So if I get it straight then he's complaining about the over-active staff-post-deletions right?


Anyway, the reason they aren't deleted by the user that created them is likely that they're just too stubborn or blind to recognize the lack of content in their post. Leaving them would only clog up threads, so it's only natural that they're deleted by someone with the trusted power.

EDIT: 0_0 I just realized we actually don't currently have the power to delete our own posts... I'm an idiot. Disregard this post.

No. No he's not saying that. He's saying that people should be able to delete their own posts. That is all he's saying.

This board hasn't even existed for years, shows how well your memory treats you.

Meh, I don't see a downside to deleting your own posts.

I'm for it.
