The Observer Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 The author of the post should be able to delete it just in case they make a mistake... Then they get reported... They should be able to fix their mistake before they get in trouble for making that mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 You could just edit out this 'mistake'. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sith Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Reported for..? That's exactly why we do not give users this ability. If they post something such as scamming or a hack or something and get caught by a user, they'll just remove all evidence of that happening and continue using these forums. If you're talking about making a double post and a user reporting you, the staff knows not to take action against such things anyways. If you make a "mistake" when posting a thread, just use the report feature to let the staff know - we'll take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 AFAIK, you can only delete your own posts untill someone posts after you. It was enabled in Arenascape General for a long time, and there were zero problems. It was usefull for double posts, but that was about it.

Doomster Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Some forums also have a time limit on editing, to prevent (mainly) users altering posts that are already replied to.. Best way to stop "double submit" double posts, is to have a minimum time limit between posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatsilverwyrm Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Best way to stop "double submit" double posts, is to have a minimum time limit between posts. There is one, but it still happens. Just a fact of the internet that you have to live with.. Damn internets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
