Antagon Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Just a suggestion. When you delete a post or topic, you think you can PM or email the user to let him/her know why it was deleted? My Kokusai Crimebuster thread disapeared off the face of the earth, and I don't know why. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 I didn't delete it, but I'd guess that is was because of the mention of the rifle's power. Best not to mention "uber power". Thread moved back out of our trash bin for you. We can't reasonably PM over every thread deletion.. we'd spend twice as long moderating the boards if we did that. As you've seen, nothing is deleted, merely filed away, so a simple query to mods/admin can sort out anything like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TMC Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 I had a post in the "have you changed your username", where i merely made a small joke saying "I changed my name from TMC to... TMC!" and it got deleted. If it was inappropriate, I understand. Was just having a little (what I thought was harmless) laugh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 It's not a problem, just the thread starter mentioned (R22) mentioned that the thread was for factual information, not chatter so he most likely deleted your post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted September 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Thanks Arnie. But technically, I could say the same about a weak AEG, since they can fire at 100fps, or 1000fps Thanks again! And put up my review! lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaQ Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Speaking of deleted posts.... Any chance you can get the "DELETE POST" button back up....? Or will that take yonks etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 What delete post button? You mean allow posters to delete their own posts or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Just a suggestion Arnie. On the old forums when you did a test, you had the option of deleting it after you'd done what you were doing. Any chance of that returning? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaQ Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 What delete post button? You mean allow posters to delete their own posts or something? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly, on the old forums there was an option for the poster to delete their own post (not in the for sale section) but this option isn't available once someone has replied to the post after yours.

1911 Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Yeah i think that option would be nice to have. i accidently posted 2 similar thread just now....and people were replying in both threads. it was very confusing for me and for others. If i as the thread starter can delete my own thread, it'd be much more convinient for both Mods and regular user like me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 There's no way to set a time limit on users deleting their own posts or topics at the moment. So when we've moved to the release version of the board software I'll write a mod to give us that functionality. For the moment if you want something deleted just use the "report post" button and a mod will do it for you. There won't be huge amounts of stuff that needs deleting so I can't imagine it'll be a huge problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
