Question

Posted

We had a report that members are unable to delete their content.  This is not an error, it's by design.  Unless you are a forum moderator (SSgt+), you cannot delete your own content if:

  1. The topic has been locked by a moderator or admin
  2. It has been more than 1 hour since you posted the content (supposedly)
  3. The content is in a protected forum that contains sensitive information (needs admin deletion)

If you need something deleted in those cases, the current method is to have a moderator or admin delete it for you.

 

If this is causing problems, we can make changes.  Would you all like the ability to "Hide" your own posts from the rest of the forum members, to be reviewed by the moderators and let them decide to delete/approve the content?

Is 1 hour too short of a time period to delete and edit your content? What would be a reasonable time period for making edits to your own posts?

I'm not suggesting that the current system for deleting is bad or needs change just that it's flexible if need be.  More importantly, this topic is more of an informational post about how it works for reference, if someone feels they need to delete something.

 

I agree, the current system is pretty straightforward and has worked for us in the past.  However, it is kind of funny that the two replies of non-issue are from moderators unaffected by the system :P

I think by having the ability to delete posts it opens us up to more scrutiny when people get into arguments. The current system definitely works well but, I think allowing to delete pictures specifically might be a better option.

I think the current system is fine for instance helm wanted something deleted from personal pictures and he reported the content and i received the notification and messaged him about it he wanted it deleted and it was taken care of. Very simple and very easy all members need to know is how to report something they want deleted or just ask.
