Deleting Posts

[xxMATTGxx]

But then they would realise they made a mistake in regards to rulebreaking which would be a good thing as mods will not get abuse from users saying "why was my post deleted"

The Moderation Department are used to abuse. I don't think deleting posts will achieve anything at all.

[...] Also good if you accidenlty double or tripple post which happens every so often when the forums lagging

When that happens to me it says I have tried to post a duplicate post and doesn't allow it. Isn't this the case for everyone?

Yeah but sometimes the post goes to a "page could not be found" and if you hit back and then submit again sometimes it double posts.

However moderators are trained to know that if its an exact copy that it was an accidental double post.

I think he's talking about posting something different twice, and if thats it usually if you edit it apologizing and PM an online mod/smod right away they'll merge it for you

Nobody can delete threads/posts on the forum - full stop including staff.

Sorry, I didn't phrase myself correctly. We can in a physical sense [soft delete] but we not alllowed to.

In regards to someone mentioning accidentally posting in the wrong thread - like nvrspk said, you can simply immediately PM one of the mods of that forum/any supermods currently online asap after you realize what you've done and ask them to merge it.

The same goes for if you post a thread in the wrong forum, we can move it to the correct one if you PM about it before we catch it and give you a pm/warn/infraction for it.

That's with the exclusion of administrators simply because you can't stop them But they're not allowed to.
