Forum Suggestion: Deletion of threads.

[Ferinex]

We can delete posts, but not threads. Is this a limitation of phpBB?

[Laremere]

It's not a limitation, it's common sense.

[Ferinex]

How is it common sense?

[Laremere]

Person creates a thread.

Other people reply in said thread.

Person dislikes what they said, so person deletes.



Way too easily abused. Thread locking, however, is fine.

[Jackard]

Laremere you didn't put much thought into this. You can normally only delete things with no replies.

[Ferinex]

Actually, yeah, I just checked, and you can do what Jackard said.

good work gumshoes

I believe J&L are using an older, gutted version of phbb with replaced authentication... It's unlikely they're going to spend much time upgrading/modifying it. Big effort and time sink for little gain.

Maybe just try to slow down and think a few times before creating a thread to start with

there really should be someone that moves/merges/deletes threads. some kind of moderator. but no content moderation (probation/bans/whatever for rudeness or whatever).
