  1. OK....as you guys know, we turned off the ability for members that allowed you to delete your own content. We did this because two or three members deleted their build logs by accident. They were not recoverable. However, by turning off this feature, it also disabled a members ability to delete the last post they made if they made it in error. Whether on their topic or someone elses. These two features are not separate in the software. So to be clear, either you can delete both topics and the last post you made or nothing at all. I understand how this can be a pain in the butt. If you post something and want to delete it, you cant right now. You can only edit your last post and remove the content. Leaving a blank post. Then you would have to contact a moderator or staff member to have us delete it. Or we would have many posts that are blank or that you write..."removed content". This is not ideal and quite sloppy Why am I repeating all of this here? We may have a solution. We have mitigated this somewhat. We have created up a feature currently only available to mods and admin. When we delete a whole topic, it doesnt actually get deleted any longer. It will be moved to a new "trash can" topic hidden from view. Only a moderator or and admin can delete topics that end up in this trash can. Until we do delete it forever it can always be moved back to the forum it came from. I guess you can call it a restore feature. BUT...this feature only applies to complete topics. NOT individual posts. So when a post (like one you had second thoughts about making on a topic is deleted) it will be gone forever. This also applies to us mods and admin. When we delete an individual post....its gone forever. SO.....what I am saying is.....we can now turn the feature back on that will allow you delete your own topics that you started and posts you have made. But remember....individual posts are gone forever. Only complete topics are sent to this "recoverable trash can" Should I turn this feature on for members????? Pros. You wont have to worry about deleting a complete topic or your build log and it will be gone forever...... you wont have to bombard the staff with requests to delete topics or individual posts....which judging from past activity happens very often. When you dont tell us to remove a post you made in error we will have useless posts emptied by each member hanging out on the site. This prevents that. Cons.....if you do mistakenly delete one of your topics, you must recognize soon that you did delete it by accident and tell a staff member to restore it.....we wont leave topics in this trash can forever. We will empty it from time to time. So you cant ask us 2 months later to restore a topic. Once again......posts are gone forever....but a staff member will be able to restore your accidentally deleted topic. Do you guys feel comfortable with this. If so I can turn it back on for a trial run. And I will post some screen shots of where you can go on a post to delete it vs. deleting a full topic. But I fear even with instructions some of you will mistakenly delete something..... and once again....posts are gone for good. BUt a complete topic you delete will now be restorable. this is something we set up as a direct fix after several members mistakenly deleting their build logs with no easy way to recover them. Now they will be recoverable.
