This is a public forum, anything you post is for the public and an historical record.

Allowing deletion of posts destroys any sense of the forum.

In the case of anything that you feel does require deletion, then ask the moderators - but you need to have a VERY good reason, and for the moderator to agree with you.

I delete then correct my spelling errors. My pc frequently doesn't type capitals then I delete the wrong lower-case and add a capital.

yeah, it's a public forum , but if you add anything by mistake, a reply to a thread, we can only watch it and can't delete it.

What about if we post a thread in the wrong area on the site (I'm to blame for this)? Maybe a 'move thread' button could be good also.

Again, simply ask a moderator.

Trust me.

You dont want a move or delete button accessable to someone who hacks your password.

The move would be used incessantly by n00bs who keep posting new threads until they get a reply. Thinking a message board is a chat room.

It is fine the way it is.

Now that you know you cant move or delete your posts, be more careful.

Delete being valid for the 1st 24 hrs of a post like it is on other VB formums isn't so bad?

It would cause chaos, FAR better as it currently is - there's been enough work to do with people deliberately trashing their posts as it is.

what about if the forum moderator is offline ?

what about if the forum moderator is offline ?

Then it will be dealt with when one is on-line, bear in mind there are various moderators all over the world.

Clicking on 'report post' will contact all the moderators.
