Look here.
Make a thread in global and i will post. Then see how you can remove my post. OK?
Then we can move forward.
yes correct. Only a mod can remove other peoples posts. Only the original poster can remove or edit his posts.
If the OP could just remove anothers post, this site would be dead a long time ago. The OP might have asked a moderator or the guy who posted removed it himself. Don’t blame the OP.
Well it’s too bad all this has gone down. I hope everybody eventually gets along. I enjoy and have enjoyed a lot of the members who have been involved posts. As for me I’m retiring from the subject.

So have you recovered the two posts you made to the “Demo for Imperious Leader” topic that I created and have now deleted? If you have, could you post a link to them and explain how others can do the same with their own lost posts?
You were supposed to just remove my posts and keep the thread. We must rry again. I made a thread this time, post twice and ill just remove your posts and keep the thread open… just like the actual thread.

No, I was supposed to remove your posts, which I did. That is the whole point that you have ignored from the beginning. Instead you’ve been making a bunch of erroneous claims.
You did nothing. You had a moderator remove that thread. Just post in the thread i made for you, we will see from the other side.
I am beginning to feel you just make up anything to cover your BS…
The OP cannot remove individual post from other member but he can delete them as a whole.
NO! he cant delete any post from another member.

No, I didn’t. Â It is one thing to question how a forum functions, but quite another to accuse me of lying. Â You seem to be the only one that doesn’t understand how this functions. Â Nobody else is arguing about it. Â What is your problem?
That nobody can remove anothers post. You cant even remove your own post in a thread you create, if others have posted.
Just like i said all along

Well, I deleted two of yours by removing a topic I created…just as has been the original point all along.

Well, you’ve been wrong all along, because I did just that. Removed topic I created with my single post in it, and the two posts you made in it, all by selecting the “remove topic.” Unlike you keep claiming it didn’t require moderator intervention.
@SS:
If you can only delete your own posts, than a mod had to remove the other posts that were not from the OP.
No, that is incorrect as you learned a few seconds ago when you created a thread, you and I both posted in it, and you removed it.
I tried refresh and got the “an error has occurred”
OK the problem is mostly fixed. The OP at this time can only lock but not remove topics. Never again can this crap happen.
Djensen will remove the lock topic button soon and get us those badges “customizer”

Thanks for getting this addressed for the forum.
What about forum space? I can’t remember when this came up but weren’t we running out of room at some point on the forum?
What if someone new posts a question that has already been answered frequently and finds the answer? This person can no longer delete the topic.
What if you designed a variant or house rule and decided to improve that variant or house rule and wanted to delete the old version?
What about a topic title that may have a typo or some other problem that the OP may wish to correct? This might also apply to polls done incorrectly or perhaps an option intended to be included but overlooked.
I understand many of the points for not deleting topics but I see this change in the forum posibly having some less desirable consequences that courtesy and self-policing could have easily remedied.

Why can’t we keep the lock topic option?
Because we want people to participate, not have some OP block threads and close them down. That does not promote posting and participation here.
Only moderators should be able to lock threads, not posters.
On the issue of forum space, Djensen is going with some new software soon that will fix that.

Moderator does this if requested, or op just leaves his post.
What if you designed a variant or house rule and decided to improve that variant or house rule and wanted to delete the old version? You can still edit your own posts… nothing changed

OP can always edit and fix that, or Moderator

It is much better now it works for everyone and does not allow “Jr. Moderators”
Well I suppose what’s done is done. Unfortunate IMO. I personally still see some potential problems, some which I have not mentioned, as well as concerns I hope DJensen is taking into account.
I suppose Mr. Jensen would know the best, I trust his judgement. We may have some very busy moderators in the future.
I had hoped there might be a way to allow specific forums to still have the function–play by email/forum for example. But even there it might have been wise to have a moderator approve deletion. (Are there tournaments that allowing OP deletion might have impacted?)
I’m not planning to test it, but I suppose if you duplicate post a thread you can still shut down an empty thread by doing a remove on your own post. And folks can still delete their own individual posts. They simply are not allowed to “unilaterally” delete the content of others. And that is a good thing.
