We should be allowed to do the following:

-Delete own posts
-Delete own threads
-Change name (to prevent people from abusing this, you should have to wait a month or so before changing again)
-Delete account

Think before you post, could be practical for double posts though.
Think before you create a thread.
Make up your mind.
Maybe, if people leave to never come back again.

Exactly.



Good point, still nice to have the freedom though.



...?

Go through the forum archives, look for posts by a former member by the name of Gold, and then tell me if you still think this is a good idea.

Ask one of the admins if you want another nickname.

KoEs used to be able to do this. It was lost after a forum rehash, you aren't the first to campaign for its reinstatement so I doubt that this is going to change.



There's a way of doing this, I think that you must ask Rocky.



I was trying to delete my account yesterday

I wouldn't be here now if this option was available (and I think that it should be)

First one could be doable.

Second one would give one power over other people's posts.

Third and fourth: ask administrators. In a decent way. Demanding things and ending with 'kthx' doesn't work with me, I don't respond to such things.

Kobe has become my favorite admin.

I would like to suggest having a cute begging and a cute pouncing smiley.

AND a Glomping smiley :P

a delete button ?= Think before you post !
lol
joking..

it would be nice because of the double post thing , sometimes happens.

Indeed Dani.

And yes, the double posting...happens alot when the forum freezes up a bit.

I definitely agree that we should be able to delete our own posts, because double posting = lame!

It is good to know that we can ask if we need a name change though! I don't mind asking nicely (although I like my name).

I wouldn't necessarily agree to letting people change their names at will just because it would get confusing. Unless people don't abuse it by changing their name every other post.

Now that I think about it, I actually would like to be able to change my nick whenever I want, because all I would do is

"Harris the <insert adverb> Epic"

Examples:

Harris the Suspiciously Epic
Harris the Irresistably Epic
Harris the Undeniably Epic
Harris the Insanely Epic
Harris the Seriously Epic
Harris the Unbarably Epic
Harris the Irresponsibly Epic


You get the idea.

Done.


Horus, your post almost made me decide not to, don't overdo it in the future.

Thanks Kobe!

Thanks indeed! It's a really useful feature.

Harris the Dillusionally Epic

Yeah, just like that.

My bad. And thanks too. It's been helping me A LOT the past few days.

Is it possible to view the topics with the posts going from newest to oldest?

When you click on a subforum you should see this in the bottom of your page; in the small box 'ORDER' you can adapt the settings ...

Thanx, I'll try that

What about a topic search by thread title,instead of individual posts? It gets annoying when I have to look through pages of text when I have an idea sparked in my mind. I dunno,maybe I'm too random for my own good,but my thoughts aren't always about current threads. If there's a way to do this already,tell me,because I haven't found it.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean. What I do know, is that search function can find thread titles for you. When you type in a keyword (or words), it looks for both titles, and appearance of your keyword(s).

I don't think anyone ever did. Some people have asked admins to delete their accounts, but the ability to delete one's own might be practical.

Delete own post between all suggestions would be the only one I would agree (and added already ), mainly when you have a lousy conection and accidentally the message is posted twice (glad that it doesn't happen to me for a long time and last time it happened was in the brazilian forum, so I was able to correct that myself).

And about change own name... some years ago (I don't remember exactly when, maybe 2003 or 2004, someone correct me if I am wrong) you were able to change your own nickname without need to ask an admin. It was kinda annoying, certain users used to change their nicknames almost weekly, so each time I logged on forums I think "huh? Who is this person?"

I think name changes are fine as they are...messaging Kobe to change them, I mean.

I should just have my nick changed to Harris already.

I would like to be able to do it at will. I wouldn't be changing it all the time, but I'd just do something creative with it; probably the same thing I do with my myspace.

Harris the Undeniably Epic
Harris the Insanely Epic
Harris the Irresistably Epic
Harris the Amazingly Epic
Harris the Irresponsibly Epic

suggestions are welcome

+1 to what Jeremy said.

The pervy Dutchman speaks truth.

I don't really understand why people would want there accounts to be deleted.

Oh my, I´ve said this like a million times already... Pm me not Kobe!!!!

I'm very sorry, I hadn't actually seen you write that before. Must have been before I joined.

*changes slogan*


MESSAGE ROCKY FOR NAMES!!!

MASSAGE ROCKY FOR NAMES!!!

I once PM'd Kobe for a name change.

...

/flees the scene

Nice one!

I'm tempted to ask for options be moderator in self-started topics.

+an incomprehensible number.

This idea definitely has its merits.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that

I see people fighting in the thread about Sean permanently replacing Glenn, a topic I started. I want to do something about it, but my options are limited to asking them to stop. I'd like to edit a few posts there.

Ah ahhhhh OKAYYYYYYY
It's all clear now!
You want to be a mod in your own topic!
... wait, that's what you said the first time. ... Nevermind. I think my brain was set to off lol

I think that could be a good idea.

That, or "self-started" was not the best choice of words. Topics usually don't start themselves.

That is a splendid idea! *wishes I had come up with it* It would take a load off the admins!

+1 to jem. Damn spambots.

What the fat man said.

I agree 100%

Spambot-fighter squad to the rescue!

YES. THIS.

Who you gonna call?

SPAMBUSTERS! (I know, lame :P)
