Sorry, this might be a bit off topic - I think being able to delete your own posts and being able to lock your own threads would be a cool feature for supporters of Codecall, it's really handy!

Sorry to disagree with you, but it would be bad to make a new thread to curse ( or something bad ) and being able to delete it completely. Own posts can be edited but if someone quoted you, no easy way to get out. Just my opinion. :)

I agree with Sky. The only thing I would like to see added is to allow users to delete their own threads so long as no one has posted to it yet.
Something witty here.

It is good idea. AriaGames use that kind of feature. What I mean is that if some one posted after you, you cannot delete that post. Same goes for threads. If no one has replied, you can delete your thread.

The reason I said "supporters of CodeCall" is because I think that if people were to pay for those privileges then they would have a much lesser chance of being abused. But yeah I see where you're coming from, it's just that I've found many times that they would come in handy if I had those options.

Also, what's the difference between deleting a post and someone who edits it completely anyway?

We've also had instances of people using CodeCall to get help on their homework, then wanting all evidence of it wiped out so their teacher can bust them for getting unauthorized assistance.

lor, I was talking about this. If this can't be deleted, we have evidence what WingedPanther said because he can't edit my post ( well, he is super mod, but every one can't )
