Deleting a post?

Post by WelshDragon »

Afternoon
I know editing posts has a 2 hour limit but is there anywhere you can delete a post you've written?
Thanks

Nothing at the moment. It's only if I fluff something and need to do it again. As I can't edit at a later date I wondered if deletion was an option! :)

Or sending an electric shock up through the keyboard to their fingers. Might make their brain work better! :lol:

I'd be more than happy to have no delete function for anyone other than mods/admin,perhaps allow a couple of minutes for typo/speiling mistooks. Make it the same as a text or email,once it's sent,it's sent.

See it as encouraging responsibility and ownership. 8-)
