TheVampireDante Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 We'd potentially have trolls and pirates making improper/abusive remarks or linking to things they shouldn't and then removing them before the staff can deal with them. As it is now is enough. You want a comment removed? Flag it and give a reason, if we agree - then it will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromechris Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) This will create unnecessary work for all moderators. Edited March 4, 2013 by chromechris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druuler Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) No matter what we may think or want when it comes to the internet, here we are guests in Dark0ne's "house". As guests, we either accept his decisions and rules and continue to enjoy his hospitality, or we do not and move on. I can understand the desire to remove our own posts, but if we made a mistake with it somehow, we have the edit button. If we wish to retract the post completely because we realize it was something we should just not have said in the first place, we own up to it, apologize for it and move on from there. That said, I agree with what The Vampire Dante just said about the possibility of the feature being abused by trolls and/or pirates. Even though it may be creating more work for the staff, it will allow the community to continue to be able to keep watch for and report problematic members.

chromechris Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) It is better to protest and debate things rather than just accept them. Edited March 4, 2013 by chromechris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druuler Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I am not saying that we should mindlessly accept things. I am all for voicing our concerns and debating them. Sometimes that will result in things we want, and sometimes it will not. At the end of the day, we are a community, but not a democracy. Dark0ne's decisions are final. We do not have to like them, but we have to live with them. Personally, in regards to being able to delete our own posts, I don't see the need for it. My reasons being more or less in my previous post. I am not trying to change your mind, nor am I saying you are entirely wrong. I have said my piece on the subject (which is something I rarely do), and will now "exit stage left" and leave you lot to it. Be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loshirai14 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) we can't do anything about it... Dark0ne decided to remove a very important feature.. it's his decision.. this is his site... what can we do?

chromechris Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) There are reasonable arguments on both sides, i just don't thinks its something worth removing. It is a symbiotic relationship, we are sold advertising and premium accounts, this is a business, and like any business the customer has a say. Anyway that's about all i can argue.

And yes, if I see a you have a reason for wanting to remove your own comment, I will do it - as I have in the past. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'll also add that even if you believe that you are a customer on this site my philosophy is most definitely "the customer is NOT always right". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
