please can you disable people from deleting a whole topic, it can get very annoying when people just delete a topic because it is turning against them.

I don't mind people deleteing single posts.

If they are going to post a message, they should have the conviction to face the consequences of what they say.

I think people should be able to delete a topic they have created if they wish... thats just my opinion though

Let put for example the thread that Mr. Gary made.

It was about him making a new signature. But then it got into an argument which didnt have to do with signatures at all. Just between people. Consequences dont count for offtopicness...

I think you should keep this feature.

I think they should be able to delete their own topics, but not before a copy is sent to a special staff-only forum... :D

Too lazy to code that though. :p

A copy should be saved and sent to staff members, for example if people spam or dont follow the rules or flame members with no mod's online, the member could then insult members etc and then delete the thread,

is it really that hard DZ? :P

Editpost.php..

code:
        if($firstpost) {
            if($forumpermissions['candeletethreads'] == "yes") {
                if(ismod($fid, "candeleteposts") != "yes")
                {
                    $db->query("UPDATE threads SET fid='$newfid' WHERE tid='$tid'");
                    updateforumcount($newfid);
                }
                else
                {
                    deletethread($tid);
                }
                updateforumcount($fid);
                redirect("forumdisplay.php?fid=$fid", $lang->redirect_threaddeleted);
            }
            else
            {
                nopermission();
            }
        }

Then you need ot add something similar to postings.php/moderaiton.php (whatever the file is in RC2).

Alternatively you can edit the deletethread function? :chrongue:

Blahhh stfu :p

It wasn't really a serious idea.

RE: deleting topic by .Roy on 05-04-2005 at 02:24 PM

So is this going to be applied or not?

Why? Are you worried you wont be able to delete the shitty threads you start anymore?

I think it should stay the way it is.  If its gonna be deleted, yes the staff should get a copy of it.  But dont take away the right for us to delete a thread we started. :)
