"You cannot delete your posts in this forum"

[piedys]

Hi Mods,
Bottom right of screen, below the Jump to:/forum selection drop-down, is a list of functions relating to ones posting, and "housekeeping".

I find it odd, that General Discussion forum is programmed so that "You cannot delete your posts in this forum"?
Seeing is this is obviously the most volatile and hostile forum on the website, that the mods would actually discourage us from removing something that was perhaps offensive, and said in the heat of the moment?
Sure we can "edit" our posts to make adjustments [i.e. remove slander!], but aren't you just making hard work for yourselves by denying us the "delete" function? We DO waste a lot of your own time censoring us after all [Gee, ya think Dyso?! ]

I noticed we can delete our own posts on the "Other AFL" forum, where a "delete" box [X] appears next to edit function?

I just find it odd that this functionality isn't uniform across all the forums?

Anyhoo, been meaning to ask that question for a while; no biggy...

cheers

Oh! my other reason for requesting it is for when the forum server slows down due to traffic or whatever, and you end up submitting the same post three or fours times!
So much easier to strike "delete" button, than to edit the text, highlite, delete, then type "sorry - DP"

We still doing that thing where the moderators ignore people's feedback I guess?

[MagpieBat]

No. We're still doing the thing where we take said feedback under advisement and we confer amongst ourselves, whereupon we advise the constituency of any change in policy...

Ha! Never knew there was a 'jump to' drop down box! Brilliant.

edit: just been playing with it, I love it!
Drop down box also good, much faster
