Why not have a delete post option?

[Sweeney]

Like 1-2 minutes after you post you can have the option to delete it. I'm stoned right now and I make mistakes. Like alot of times i'll post something stoned and be like damn I posted this on the wrong board. So it saves the moderators some time that way by helping them out.

I don't want to go on a rant here but America's foreign policy makes about as much sense as Beowulf having sex with Robert Fulton at the first Battle of Antietam. I mean, when a neo-conservative defenestrates it's like Raskolnikov filibuster deoxymonohydroxinate.

First I really don't see a time when a member is going to be able to delete their own posts or threads. Next, save the rant for the politics forum please.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

why not though? i actualy think its pretty stupid the way you can only edit within a few mins after your post and cant delete your post and then if you get in trouble and want your account deleted NO JOY and if you want posts deleted once again NO JOY its like cannabis.com wants people to get in shit! people should be entitled to delete there own posts! like its a weed forum ffs most people post when there high and post info they normaly would'nt!

There is now a 10 min. edit time......isn't that enough to protect yourself from the evil mods? LMAO!!! How is it CC's fault if you can't control what you post?

Yeah the ten min edit time is grand but i still dont understand why you cant delete your posts or have your account deleted?

Deleting posts and threads is the moderators duty. I understand your position from your standpoint but try to look at what a nightmare it would cause us. Not to mention the internal workings....I think they would have to make all users mods in order to do such a thing.....Skink probably knows better on that one. SKINK!!!

As for accounts being deleted. With post counts, rep system it's not only affecting that user but anyone that posted in that users threads.

but if it was possible to have the accounts deleted the users name would come up "annouymous" so there would be no need to delete all them seperate posts from there? true the rep system would be slightly affected but sure WHO CARES? lol

[Weedhound]

I didn't realize the edit time was 10 min....thought it was five. I'd think ten minutes is plenty of time to be sorry for what you've written, lol.

[Skink]

We now have 10 min to change our post,,,we just got that... Give someone a leg and they want the whole chicken...

If you don't consider your post appropriate you have the ability to erase the whole thing and leave "Removed" or even "..."

[TheGreenFog]

Deleting posts would damage the continuity of the site. A few here or there is understandable...for good reasons...but if everyone was allowed to do that...wouldn't half the site be gone? And most of the threads wouldn't make sense.

I think the edit time is sufficient. Now 10 minutes?! Whoa...more than sufficient. Beware what you post. :)

My :twocents:

some people are just never happy =/

[Andrew Nguyen]

Like The Grinch.

That dude really needs to chill out and smoke a fat doobie.

I'd be happy to smoke out that green bizzaatch with the dankest.

Instead of an actual deletion all you have to do is erase the content of the original post and replace it with 3 symbols, as long as it's within the allotted time allowed of course.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:actually psycho...you just flip a switch that says "allow user to delete own posts" I have it on my forums. I am sure there is one on the settings/options/permissions admin.page.

I wouldn't allow this permission though. Peace

[halfassedjediknight]

ive been on forums where it was allowed. i dont think it caused too much a ruckus.

as far as account deletion goes, yeah all the threads and posts go with it, but is that really a big deal?
