why is the delete post function in gone?

There surely needs to be a permanent record of every seditious statement ever made on this Board, to arrest potential terrorists under the Patriot Act.

No deletions allowed.

That isn't cool.

Hmm I just noticed I deleted my introduction, but I meant to edit bah, maybe haha damn, too bad they didnt remove it earlier...
/sigh

Guess we better 'think before we post now' no cussing someone out then deleting it LOL! No getting mad at ats and deleting all of your post(which I've actually thought of once or twice hehe)
Definately interesting....

To prevent people from deleting there own posts when they have spammed, or when they attacked other members.

Quite a few times, flamers deleted much of their posts, after a mod or admin warned them about their behavour. So that it looks like we (the mod and admins) are wrong, or trigger happy.

Come on, because of the bad behavior of few, the many are punished. The delete function was very useful to me. You mods have always had the support of the members. Do not worry about us not believing in you.

This is a case were the abuses of a minority, have caused problems for the majority.

There have been dozens of recent events most members never saw were people posted quick insults, left them up long enough the the target of the insult to see, then deleted the post.

Also, users with malice in mind take advantage of being able to delete entire threads they have started... removing a record of their activity.

And as far as I've seen, XMB seems to be in the minority with discussion software that alows the deletion of entire posts.

But it would be just as easy for these trolls to diss someone, then edit their statement to something nice.

Are you suggesting that we should remove the edit function too??

no, seriously, that will be too obvious, and will be noticed by many members. If, IF things like that happened, you should always contact a mod or admin...
