Deleting own posts - suggestion
on: February 02, 2018, 01:02:34 PM
Like editing, I suggest posts should also be deletable within a certain time after posting. It frequently happens I hit Quote instead of Modify and thus generate a new post without wanting it. I can then edit that one, of course (saying something inane like "oops, sorry, double post") but the post itself stays - with the attendant risk of hitting Quote again, of course, and so on and so forth at nauseam  :facepalm:
Cheers!

But usualy because I regret what I typed...

When others point out that it wasn't the most sensable post, I'll feel even worse... for quite some time :facepalm:

I thought there was or maybe there used to be.

Edit: yes, there is a Remove option. That's another word for "Delete" you know ;)

Hmmm, if Reinier has the option but others don't then it might be a permissions thing.  Whoey to the white courtesy phone!

Poor MTO members...

You'd think you have to pay NOT to have your posts removed :rofl:

History lesson for you Newbies:
Maaany years ago someone went back and deleted his own posts, whilst having an argument with some members, thus screwing up many threads (maybe he later became the owner of photobucket...)

Thus the option for members to remove their posts was removed.

Charter members can do that, within a certain time interval.

Regular, economy class, members are not required to do theor own cleaning/deleting and can ask a moderator to do that dor them
