DELETE ME.

(I'd delete it, but for some reason, it ain't letting me. :\)

[Marcus Telcontar]

Check his PMS??????

[AmazonBabe]

:lol

Oh hush you. You know what I meant. :p

BTW, aren't Mods able to delete posts? Cause I couldn't get rid of my post... maybe I can delete posts, but i can't delete threads?

[Marcus Telcontar]

I think ony Supermods can.

Errr.... odnt you have supermod? Maybe I'm on acid and my memory faied me

[TheHolo.Net]

You should have been able to delete the entire thread AB.

The mods here are only "Supermods" by Mark's claim because of all the hacks addedd to their abilities, but in technical terms per this vB board, they are just forum mods, not what vBulletin has termed supermoderators, but the powers that forum mods have here are very much on par and in many areas do rival that of your typical vBulletin supermod. :)

BTW: To delete a thread you edit the first post and then check the box to delete the post, then click the "Delete Now" button. The process of deleting the entire thread can sometimes take as long as 30 seconds maybe a little more to complete, as there are several DB queries and such performed along with the process to remove its entry from a few different tables in the database, including the various DB entries for each susequent post in the thread.

That's what I did do, Ogies (under my AB name). But it said I didn't have access to do that. :\

Lemme try again...

*Changes accounts*

[AmazonBabe]

Nope, still says I don't have permission to do deletions.

Hmmm... lemme try with my LV name just for the hell of it...

:: Changes accounts ::

[Lady Vader]

Nope. LV doesn't even have access to edit. Guh... |I

Well, Ogies, you can go ahead and delete this thread as it is pointless. But I still can't do the deletion with my AB account. :\

[Marcus Telcontar]

Awwwww.... pointless you say? Crapflood this thread I can with Yoda gibberish I will


^_^

[Marcus Telcontar]

Bugger, i cant delete either!

????????

[TheHolo.Net]

Weird. O_o

Goes to test things with a forum mod account of his own.

[Marcus Telcontar]

I think I know. It's a order of permissions problem. I bet Mods cant delete threads other mods have made. I'm fairly certain I've nuked my own thread once and also that fo a regular poster.

[Jedi Master Leia Solo]

Could be Marcus. *shrugs*

I can't delete this either :(

[TheHolo.Net]

It wouldn't let me delete my own thread as a forum mod in my test, but I didn't try deleting one made by a regular poster. Thats what I should test next.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Anything changed lately? New patch or similar?

[TheHolo.Net]

Test failed. A forum mod couldn't delete the entire thread a regular poster made in my test either. Can a forum mod delete a single post in a thread?

It wasn't that long ago that the upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6 was applied, but it didn't do anything for mod permissions.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Your wish was my desire Sadi

[TheHolo.Net]

Okay, at least that works as it is supposed to.

[TheHolo.Net]

Hmmm, considering that forum mods have the ability to edit the first post in a thread, close a thread, or even move a thread to a private forum, I don’t think the ability to delete an entire thread is really absolutely necessary, though I could create another usergroup that would allow some mods the ability. The only problem with that is that ability would work everywhere, board wide, not just in the forums that moderator is assigned to. :\

[Marcus Telcontar]

Dont worry about it then. We can work around it.

[TheHolo.Net]

We could use the Group Mod Staff forum as a trash can forum where threads to be deleted could be moved and then deleted later.

[TheHolo.Net]

I do intend to look into this further at the vB support boards anyhow though. :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

Well, we have the Admin forum here that we can toss unwanted threads. Might pay to let other mods know this condition exists

[TheHolo.Net]

Yeah, unless I can find a way to fix the source code so that it doesn't, yet not create any otrher bugs. hehe

[Marcus Telcontar]

Coolios :)

[AmazonBabe]

Ok, so it wasn't just my account. Oddness. And here I started freaking out that someone had done something. O_o

Ok, well, this thread can be moved to a "ready to delete" area if you wish.

Or not. You can just fill it with pointless trash. :lol
