Delete Posts?

TypoMage
I really hope this is not on the forums anywhere but I did check.

Why can we not Delete any of our posts? Like in one case a member accidently double posted. I wish there was a feature that allowed us to delete any posts that we make. I know nothing of how to do this but I know some things.
Lets sat I wanted to delete this post. After I deleted my Posts Count would go down and credits would be deducted for exactly how many I earned in this posts. We are allowed to edit and change a few things to out posts but I think we need more editing ability with our own posts.

And again I am sorry if a topic was already made.

You can delete your own post by simply reporting yourself and asking a Mod to delete your post. They'll almost always comply.

Well yes WaterMonkey that is true but what if a mod is not on or anything like that. All I am saying is that it would be very more simple if there was not just a button or something right under all of you posts so you could delete them with a single click.

The question would be why would you want to delete posts? Besides the fact the post could spam related, or off topic or something else that is against the rules. On top of that when a post gets deleted 1.5x the credits gets taken from your account and so if you start deleting more posts you will lose more credits then your making. Also if your post contribute to the forum then there is no need to have them deleted in the first place.

I can understand if you want to get rid of double posts or something, but it really would just be easiest to wait for a mod.

You can edit out all your text and just put "Sorry, double post, waiting for mod to delete" or "Double post" or something, and you'll loose credits wont you?

Deleting a post also creates potentially a hole in a thread or missing topic. Since Trap17 is working hard to collect quality posts for SEO purposes (that's why quality posts is very important so that search engines "like" our forum), if a topic or a post is deleted, the search bot basically reports back and places Trap17 as "unreliable" source for information. We do not want this at all.

When a post is deleted, it blocks the flow of a topic in discussion. Not a good one there, too.

I initially even went against bringing back the EDIT feature. But OpaQue had better faith in our forum members and so he brought it back. We just have to trust that EDIT would not be used in malicious manner--posting foul and vicious post and then editing before any moderator has the chance to review and rebuke.

    Mistakes happen. In the fury of writing long-winded posts (or short, meaningless drivel) it's
    often easy to misspell a word here or there, or overlook a typo. I have no problem with that, nor
    with taking a little artistic license to spice up the post if it adds some intrinsic value to the
    thread. But lately, I've noticed some folks going out of their way to deliberately misspell
    common words and butcher the English language beyond recognition. To cite a recent example, one
    poster found it appropriate to spell "anyways" (which is not a real word, anyway ) as "A...

    i realized while typing earlier i had the urge to find a "save as draft" button. i guess i was so
    fixated with my blog. but anyway, my point is what if the forum was to include this feature so
    whatever you write, you could save them for posting later on. i was thinking maybe some people would
    have some stuff to do and they have to shut down the computer (not everyone can leave their computer
    on, and that would be a waste of energy), but they have already written their topics/posts.
    moreover, some people would have second thoughts in posting their topics so they could sav...
  4. Limiting Max Number Of Credit Posts Suggestion? - (19)
    How about that Trap17 limits maximum number of posts that you can get credits for in one day? My

    style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> . I really

    Well I was just looking at this profile and this user has been inactive for a long time. Why
    don't Admin delete these accounts. He has one post and it was closed for already been posted.
    Why don't they delete these accounts. It makes me kind of mad that some people go on Trap17 and
    leave it here to rot. Does it take up space to make a account on Trap17. Like lets say Trap had 100%
    Space And then Someone registered then they had like 99%.(That is the best I can explain it.) So I
    say that you guys go threw all the Members and delete the ones that are not coming bac...
  6. Control Panel: Current Subscriptions - Sort by new posts (0)
    I don't know about you guys, but I find the current subscriptions page
    (http://www.trap17.com/forums/view-topic-subscriptions.html) one of the most useful features of this
    forum. As such, I have two ideas to make this tool even better. 1) Have the topics listed on page
    be sorted into two sections: one for new posts (at the top) and the other for topics without any new
    replies. 2) Make the topic subscriptions page be the default destination when you click the 'My
    Controls' link. Or at least swap out the "Recently Read Topics" in favor for it. (I made this...

  8. Posts - Higher Value (12)
    I think that when people post, it should give them more credit days than it currently does. It takes
    a long time to make replies and new posts to some people like myself who don't type very fast,
    and to constantly be active to make sure that there are enough days remaining is a lot of time and
    work, considering people could get a paid site for around $3 or $4 a month. The cost is
    very cheap, and not all of the features that this site offers is necessarily used by everyone. I
    could pay for a site, and have everything I need for a very low cost, and not worry...

  10. Edit Option For Posts - adding an option to edit past posts (2)
    hi i was just wondering if you could maybe add an 'edit' button to the bottom of each post.
    this would be useful, as just recently i was posting in the warcraft III topic in the gaming/rts
    subforum and i forgot to say something and so had to post twice. maybe just make it so that if
    someone has already posted after your post it is uneditable, but until that happens you are free to
    change it. thanks for considering! /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle'

  11. Allow Members To Edit And Delete Posts - Make The Lives Of Us And Mods Easier (9)
    Ok so your happily posting and you hit the post button too many times because your internet is slow.
    We can't delete our own posts so we have to let a mod know. Or you want to add to your post. I
    personally think this is kind of a good idea because it will help the forums run more smothely if
    people can edit or delete their posts. What do you guys think?...
  12. Posts Suggestion - (1)
    I found that many people are confused about the post issue, where you have to have more than 300
    charecters. However, I have a better suggestion. If you made a addon called "Good Posts" and after
    that put the script of 300 charecters and another one saying "Total Posts" with the normal script.
    For example, I posted 10 normal posts and 6 GOOD posts. That way, the ranks for the forum will rise
    faster, yet, we still know how many posts are good. That way, I don't say n00b until I post over
    30000 charecters in the forum....
