Magic! Hoodlum Forester: The OP can now delete posts within his or her thread. Hmmm, I can see where that could be used for good AND evil. Though I don't see how they can any longer be called Forums since opposing view points can now be simply deleted. Now it's really just a homepage open to more viewers.. WhispersMist: I think only ppl that have verified emails can delete a post though within their thread. I recall something being said about that. A person has verified their email has more options then someone who doesn't BUT...lol, don't quote me Hoodlum Forester: No, mine and Dilly's just got deleted by an OP in her thread. Maybe they gave her Magic powers! Hoodlum Forester: Oh, and I had SUCH plans! It would be like a game show. Delete everyone's posts until they got the right answer..or just to be spiteful StuckInTheSixties: I wrote a thread some months back about my wish for a sort of "special" Forum where participants would be able to be screened before they could post. The idea was so that two, three, four, or whatever number of "screened" users would be able to argue/discuss their topic without inclusion of others for whatever reason they wanted, but in order to be approved, all participants would have to have concensus. It would work like this: Abe creates the special thread, and "invites" Bob. Bob joins, and Cal is going to join too. Abe and Bob both must "invite" Cal for Cal to be able to post. Don is also going to join. Abe, Bob and Cal all must "invite" Don. Tom the Troll wants to join in. He's ignored, and can't post. Steve the Stranger wants to join, but Abe, Bob, Cal and Don like their little discussion group just the way it is, Steve is also shut out. But Tom, Steve and anyone else can enter the thread simply as observers, and the thread also remains on the public record, just like any other thread (unless ALL FOUR participants each "delete" the thread.) The result would be sort of like what you'd have if they were on a stage in front of an audience, or on TV in one of those discussion programs. I made it clear that this idea was for this "special" Forum was NOT to replace a regular Forum such as this, but to exist alongside of it. It was just me thinking out loud. Given a choice of Forums in which the OP can delete posts, or Forums that are essentially unregulated, I'd MUCH prefer unregulated. o_o Dilly o_o: Well thats a major let down, i saw the drama princess deleted us and was trying to find these powers....bugga. Harlet: no i do not want to fight, he who changed his name.......................i was emote sparing, while too tired too speak.hmpf........................... | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
