Nah that's ridiculous, to be blunt. You can't take back something you said in real life; why bother on the Internet?Pratyush said:On a different note, I don't see why cricketweb shouldn't allow members to have their past posts deleted if they wish. I also noticed that you cannot edit or delete posts after more than 24 hours (some thing which wasn't always there on cricketweb). I find this very weird in general. Most places on the net I have been at allows you to do this. I think it is only legitimate to not deny members from having this option. That's my take on it.
The relevant point being discussed exists in the quotes usually and so this isn't an issue for me. Also there is the post counts being deleted issue. I don't think post counts is that important and the judgement of the member posting should be adhered to (some thing which can change after 24 hours) as to whether he should edit or delete a post in my opinion.sledger said:24 hours notice is plenty imo, otherwise you could end up with all sorts of confusion if people started to update posts they made a few years ago then others tried to read the threads back.
Exactly right,sledger said:24 hours notice is plenty imo, otherwise you could end up with all sorts of confusion if people started to update posts they made a few years ago then others tried to read the threads back.
Can you imagine if someones posts were deleted, what it would cause to older threads that that member has contributed to.Pratyush said:On a different note, I don't see why cricketweb shouldn't allow members to have their past posts deleted if they wish.
Finally got his England call up.sledger said:actually, speaking of mods, where has pickup been recently? not seen him online for a while now.
Wouldn't make a huge difference as point being discussed would exist in quotes except when the thread was started by the person himself. I can see some one wanting their earlier posts edited/deleted very practically like Hinton did here. For the moment, I don't have a problem with my older posts or them being there on the forum and so it is not a huge issue for me personally though.James said:Can you imagine if someones posts were deleted, what it would cause to older threads that that member has contributed to.
nobody is making you stick around these parts.Happens in most other places
Stupid of you to say that. Just because you don't like x of a forum or like y policy of another forum will in all likelihood have little bearing on whether you stick around a forum as there are so many variables which decide that.sledger said:nobody is making you stick around these parts.
I don't care who owns my posts, as long as its not Mr Mxyrikbenchmark00 said:The issue is who actually 'owns' the posts? After one posts on cricketweb, does the post become property of Nixon, or of the poster?
If it's the latter, surely they can manipulate the posts in whatever fashion they wish, however if it belongs to Nixon, he too can manipulate (or not manipulate in this case) the post.
Yeah, think about that...

Where will it end if someone like Chris feels so strongly about the treatment he's received from the "usual suspects"?
