Delete post feature?

GuitarMuk Joined: Jun 10, 2015 Posts: 168 Cleveland, Ohio	Posted on Sep 28 2015 03:00 PM I'd like to see a delete post feature. I have written posts and wanted to completely delete them but am unable. It would cut down on the wasteful 'post deleted by author' posts. Top

I looked for likely candidates a while back but didn't see a mod title in their profiles. Top

I might consider it for SG101 3.0, but I'll have to think about it. In the mean time if you want a post deleted, change the text to something like "Delete me please" and then flag it. I'll see it and guess what you mean. The mods are myself, DannySnyder, and CaptainSpringfield. Neils has moderator power in the NSSR sub-forum. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

That's the best we can do for now. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site? SG101 FAQ - Send me a private message - Email me "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Top
