Deleting own posts/replies

[Skywrath]

What would be your stance in terms of the ability to delete your own posts/replies within a certain time-frame? Personally having a response of " - " when you withdraw/remove a post, just looks funky for lack of a better term. On another forum, users were allowed to delete their own posts within a specific time-frame, 15m if I recall. It would just look cleaner, if we were allowed to do so.

 

That being said, I do see the flip-side of the argument - having the option to do so could encourage people to post something unsavoury within a certain time, delete it, without the moderators knowing. However, I still do think that having that option, would make things look cleaner over-all, as I think this would be a minority. (Your forum is fairly clean, from what I observed). 

 

EDIT: Just thought I might throw this in there. The yellow box saying your reply has been edited, after a slight edit, be it grammatical or contextual. Similar suggestion to the above - let that edit box show after a certain time.

The current software doesn't support this, if there's something like a double post just Report it for deletion and one of the team will sort it out for you :tu: It may be something we can review with the updated software but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

I would also like it if there was an opportunity to edit a post immediately after you posted it, because I have a bad habit of making a post and then immediately noticing a typo in there which leads to so many of my posts having that yellow marker under it.

One thing we will be looking at in the software upgrade is making that garrish yellow bar a bit more subtle.
