So I was going through my old posts and discovered some old workshop code changelogs I had that I figured were old enough to be broken at this point (I posted them basically when workshop first came out). I went to delete them but it told me I don’t have permission and I need to flag the post with reasoning?
First of all, why can’t I delete a post I made myself? Second of all, I can’t put reasoning in the flags and I’d rather not basically report myself. How does one flag a post for deletion?
Can’t you just edit the post and make it say like;
“old workshop code, no longer working, deleted.”
I did that, I just thought someone might have some solution like “You can, just do this this this”
The fact that you can’t is just… Why?
if someone replies to your post you can no longer delete it
i am unsure why that rule is in place but its like a relic of old forums for me. i used to use a fifa forum called futhead when i was younger and i remember not being able to delete comments/posts if someone replied to it
It’s so dumb. If you make a mistake and people correct you, then you can’t delete the thread and people just correct you over and over.
Nope. I have empty threads and posts I can’t delete.
Only mods and developers can remove threads/posts.
I’m aware, it’s just… A very very odd decision to not allow people to do so to their own posts.
Well, you can edit the post to something nonsensical if you choose, as long as it’s 20 characters.
Hm I guess you can only delete it when nobody has interacted with it in any way shape or form
Seeing how people keep managint to post replies of literally just no. This doesn’t seem like it’s effective.
Yeah it will delist the thread and eventually hide it, but it never truly deletes.
Can you be more specific, or link an example of what you mean?
