So what you’re suggesting is the steam forums, but I’m sorry to say that place is run by a bunch of nazi 7 year olds. If it ever were to change into that I’m sure a lot of people would leave.

:pirate:

#283

Bean…DOO EET

#284

My primary concern is the lack of an option to delete your own posts.

#285

someone had a good reason for that, but the reason itself escapes me.

#286

There’s a reason for ya :stuck_out_tongue:

#287

I can think of a pretty good reason. If people could delete any of their own posts, you could end up with threads not making any sense if someone had a sudden attack of insanity and deleted all of their own posts…

I would propose instead to allow members to delete their own posts ONLY if that post has not had any replies to it. I don’t know if that’s at all possible, but it means that if a member posts something, I don’t know, insulting, and then has a change of heart, they can delete it and hopefully no one will be any the wiser and carries on happily.

In a perfect world of course… :fffuuu:

#288

On most boards you can delete your own posts as long as it’s the last post on the page. That would work.

#289

In the meantime, feel free to report your own post and request it be deleted. we will be happy to help.

#290

#295

test results: FAIL

#296

bscly. :stuck_out_tongue:

#297

Deleting posts is fine, deleting one’s thread is not. By giving people that power the continuity of the forum is destroyed, as people would be inclined to delete threads for fun or to end a flame war. And to be honest that’s kinda the moderator’s job.

#298

solution: don’t create useless threads

Also: the moderators are the only ones able to delete threads or posts, so I don’t see where the problem is.

Developers are pretty good moderators too.

#299

I say we make every user a moderator.

#300

YES

At least for a day. I think Ram was gonna do it once, but then he realized what we were capable of with the Manchild experiment.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
