Hello dear Chips.

A good decision, a poll will let the members decide on the issue.

The "Lanky Era" around here is certainly one of people's choice

He does take a lot of consideration for input on each and every issue of the board, even when he could easily have the final stand as main admin.

As for the middle solution I want to propose there is to grant special edit permission for some members to edit their dynamic posts on a certain board (I.e. the "EDIT YOURSELF BOARD" or something like that).

Also, let's remember we have moderators with DELETE permissions. A deletion request board where members can ask for deletion would suffice to bring human-based judgement into the equation.

I.e. a person retracting himself from some comments towards another members would be granted, yet other more abusive requests would not. This will certainly bring more to the moderating crew AND we would have the opportunity to debate deletions at the removal request thread on that board.

Regards.

I have voted no but a time limit of say, 5 or 10 minutes would be ideal in my opinion.

Hello dear Shorty.

There is such a time frame.

Victor,

I appreciate your efforts to find a "middle solution", but I think it falls short of members being in full control of their posts.

Hopefully the results in the poll, especially if they are highly in favour of a 'Yes' vote will settle the issue.

By the way dear Lionel, how much time will the poll be up. What's the closing date?

Hi Guys.

Well those that wanted to participate should have done so already, seeing its been talked about since the 6th.

So lets say I close it 24 hours from now.

That would be 7.30 am Australian Time on the 9th of October.

Lanky.

I can understand Spike's POV in regards to the archives. But considering how many of these threads turn into pointless arguements, people should have the right to take their opinions and thoughts (whether past or present) elsewhere. Not to mention the fact that some of us post just before bed, and may not give the post a perfect proofread before going public. It'd be nice to adjust them the next day. I also think that when a member contributes to a gambling forum whether is be their system, methods, or anything else that they are sharing that product of their own thought process, they should have the right to remove their own posts. I don't think it is fair that a mod is the only one to remove posts, when a member is the one to have second thoughts about posting. But I'm sure as is always the case, whoever is the loudest will get their way in the end. I'm also sure if the posters here could act like adults, this issue wouldn't be a problem.

I agree D-J,

But your avatar is freaking me out man, can we do something about that old goat, please?

[Spike]

His avatar is the Amazing Randi, he's my hero. You should be so famous...

[Spike]

There is such a time frame.>>>

Thats a good idea. Give people 10min to change a post. I don't like the idea of changing it anytime you like because often someone will post valuable info and then decide to delete it a week later.

Since there are a LOT of moderators floating around here... why not have a system where people need to get a mods approval first? I only say this because I have had some really immature members say stuff.... mainly provocative stuff... then wait for replies, then delete/modify their original reply (theirs)... then make fun at the persons (now) illogical reply

*EDIT (pun intended lol) .......... RWC was the 'person' I was mainly referring too.. I understand he is a member on this forum too..... my advice... watch him!! he is a unknown quantifier

[Jakkalsdraai]

I say one should be able to edit or delete one's own posts at will. If not alot of people will think twice before posting anything. Not good.

Hi Forum.

Firstly let me thank all those that participated in this Poll....I will now lock this Poll.

Well I let it go another hour and a half over the time limit just to be fair to all.

And seeing as its 68% in favour of the YES Vote.

Victor the Members have spoken by way of Vote so please make the necessary changes.

Thanks Mate.
