Title: The "delete" button.
Post by: (_)_)===D on April 14, 2009, 08:58:03 PM
Seriously, this is not the kind of place where a delete button is appropriate. It needs to be disabled, and if there is no easy way to do this in the admin I'll be happy to make the code change for you guys.

Actually, I've used it with MY OWN posts so I don't look like an "edit 'tard" ...

Me too, but that doesn't make it right. Allowing users to edit their own posts is enough. At least that way they can't just zap a bunch of their own posts and make it look like eitje has lost his fucking marbles.

I'm with krsna, though.

It's a new world.  What we once did, we can no longer do.

You want users to not be able to delete; FINE ...

Posts can still be deleted. There'll just be a record that there was once a post there. Is that so bad?

See above.

I can ALWAYS see who deletes and edits what at any time ...

Yeah, you can see that stuff. Taking away the ability to outright delete a post but still letting people edit posts means that if someone changes their mind and wants to get rid of a post of theirs, anyone reading will at least know that there was once a post there.
