Power to the People?

I dont know much about these Board programmes, but have been on others where posters had the ability to delete their own posts. I dont know if its possible on this forum, but surely the ability to do so would take some of the work load off the mod's/admin? Just an idea. _________________ Goth.nets resident Atlantean (Thanks to Nephele) David Bowie - All the Madmen lastfm

Otherwise we'd have people opening threads, disliking the way they were going, and then deleting the whole thing. ~blood rose~ _________________ Goth.Net Samurai of Flaming pink versus black - black versus magenta this picture of you - just melts in my agenda

True, didnt really think of editing as an option. I guess Im just a neat freak, and I wanted to be able to clean up my messy unecessary posts. /div wrote: Otherwise we'd have people opening threads, disliking the way they were going, and then deleting the whole thing. Nor did I think of any negative side to users being able to delete their posts. You may have noticed I dont do a lot of thinking (: Oh well, I guess I'll just have to be more careful in the future _________________ Goth.nets resident Atlantean (Thanks to Nephele) David Bowie - All the Madmen lastfm

When we see a mess, we clean it up. ~blood rose~ _________________ Goth.Net Samurai of Flaming pink versus black - black versus magenta this picture of you - just melts in my agenda

You had a valid point, you raised it in a courteous manner in the correct place, and when someone had a different solution that probably works better overall, you listened with an open mind. If everyone was this reasonable we wouldn't need moderators at all SS _________________ I'm not starving, I'm not a student, and I'm not 47. But other than that, I like to think of myself as a pretty honest guy.
