Request about posting habits

[MetalAges]

Heya folks,

Summary: I have a request. Please think before you post.

Explanation: I recently purged the forum of all "soft deleted" posts, meaning, when you delete one of your posts, I still see them until I make them "permanent" deletes. This forum has one of the highest deleted post percentages of the whole site, and most of the time it is you guys posting something, then deciding to think, and going back to delete your post. I am looking at 43 posts right now like this.

There's a few of you that are especially bad about this, so please just try to think first.

I delete posts only occasionally.

btw you are listening to Scar Symmetry. Nice.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Yea, I delete my posts quiet often...

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I dont think I've ever done it.

 

[DarkBliss]

That's hardly surprising

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Krig doesn't take back anything he says

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

yeah fuck that shit. I say whatever is going on in my nutty head.

 

[Zephyrus]

I rarely delete my posts. More often I type out a post then erase it before posting.

 

[Ender Rises]

I edit more than I delete, I deleted only once that I can remember in the recent past though I'm sure that I've done it often.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I have never deleted a post. I don't say things so I can take them back and apologize. I find that annoying.

I made a few gigantic deletions half a month ago, so that probably contributes. They were an attempt to eradicate entire conversations from threads which didn't need them. Deron; a lot of that was probably me.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Never done it.

what's the deal with people just posting a single "." period?

.

that is the entire post.

is there anyway you can disable delete post? that would be better, then no one could take back anything they said, just like real life.

Same here, although I did delete one a few days ago.

They usually do that while quoting someone to show that they agree with them, ie "quoted for truth".

I catch many of your mass deletes, and deleted a huge group not long ago. I realize though some are yours and those aren't the ones I am referring to.

I know I've deleted a whole string of my own posts before in order to get out of a pointless argument that's gone nowhere...

Why don't you just make us all administrators so we can permanently delete all of our posts?
