The title is self-explainatory.

Being able to quote from locked topics would be nice, too.

This interests me more than the actual post tbh.
But it'd be a nice adjustment too

Why do you exactly want it?
-
I'd recommend a poll to be added on this suggestion. As for the suggestion, what if there is a need to view some old posts by a member, and the post was deleted by the member earlier? Is there any way to retrieve it? If yes, then I wouldn't mind having this feature.

Yeah, this would also be beneficial.

Yeah, good point. Sometimes it's nice to be able to see what people have written and it's annoying when there are discontinuities. However, it was never a problem on the old forums. Also, people wouldn't be able to delete shit once topics are locked.

No. Edit and quote actions are enough for regular forum users.

If you say so it must be true. Thanks for showing me reality, I thought I needed the delete feature, but if you say I don't, then I don't.

I don't see why we shouldn't have this, so +1

I like this idea as well
-
What about having access to all admin features on the forum?
It would be great,because why not...
This is ridiculous...
-
The delete feature would be good as long as you don't delete some of your 'ban appeals' etcetera , just for the sake of reputation. Otherwise It's good for personal benefit which doesn't cause harm to someone.
-
+1 one often makes mistakes that you realize only after you posted anything.

Good suggestion but I think it would just create clutter with the way fourm is setup. Meaning extra time and useless comments will turn into a quarrel. So for those reasons -1

What is ridiculous is that you can't provide a single argument against what was suggested and decide that you're going to argue against giving all admin features instead (something that nobody, definitely not me, suggested).

Yes, locked topics definitely shouldn't be removed.

Modifying one of the hundreds of existing permissions settings in the forum would mess up the way the forum is setup? Ok, lol. You have definitely managed many SMF forums.

Your suggestion is completely retarded or it's the way you show your frustration after hours and hours asslicking for a promotion,which resulted in a fail.
There need to be bounds between administrators and regular/registered users on a forum. On another one,everything should be stored where it belongs and be visible anytime.
Social media and forums are not the same. Your posts,threads and statistics shouldn't be moderated by "you". That's how it was for years,you dumb, on a period child.
-
Could think of the abusive ways it would be used, sounds great

...you dumb, on a period child.
What the fuck is this? This doesn't have anything to do with gender or menstruation. Don't bring bullshit like this into discussions. Not only does it degrade 48.1% of the population, but it also devalues your argument.
-
Please refrain from insulting another member of the forum whilst arguing your point. If you disagree with their point of view, discuss your side of the argument in a calm and respectful manner, otherwise you will be punished.
-
I'd like to see this addition.

I'm surprised you actually supported this idea without any valid reason.
-

I did have a valid reason, which was that this used to be possible without many problems that I was aware of. However, I changed my position. It's easy enough to ask admins to delete things, and I don't like the idea of weird discontinuities in conversations/people deleting things to improve their image.

I believe it will get abused easily since some of you guys trying to act so smart ass..
I mean that for some smartasses:
Once you have an option to remove your own comment, you will make silly comments to get your target guy look like an idiot and start to make comments on topics with that way, you will annoy him/her at the beginning. Then when you see the insults by him/her; you will remove your previous comments. At the end; you will act nice, repliying with some respectful comments and make the other person looking so asshole on that topic.
That's why -1

Isn't that possible with editing as well...?
Deleting: you can make a person look like he is talking to himself (absurd?)
Editing: you can fake that a person got mad at you while you didn't say anything wrong
I think editing is much worse... don't you?

It's so funny how you make a big deal of this whole shit. Like if anyone in the world gives 2 fucks about what you gonna writte. And suggestion is just fine, many times players edit(deleted) their posts and then it just says "edited". Being able to delete it instead, is much better.
-
Topic starters should be given this, I will support.
+1 one often makes mistakes that you realize only after you posted anything.
I agree.
The delete feature would be good as long as you don't delete some of your 'ban appeals' etcetera , just for the sake of reputation. Otherwise It's good for personal benefit which doesn't cause harm to someone.
Once a topic is locked by senior admins or Head admins like Jonne, that person will no longer be able to delete or unlock post to make changes then lock it especially the "Ban Appeal" topics.
-
I agree with the suggestion. Instead of deleting the content of their post and asking the staff members to delete the post itself, the players should have the power to do the latter themselves to shorten the process. Deleting posts, just like editing, from locked topics should not be available, though.
-
To be honest this isn't even needed , just report your post add a reason why you want to delete it and jobs done.
-
I think that we need this option, because I always wanted to delete some of my useless posts here but I can't, even if I modify it but that's not enough!
So +1
-
Don't really think this is needed actually. Its not that often we get asked by someone to remove a post.
And like Cobra said, Can be abused pretty easy to provoke an "fight" with someone and then act all innocent by removing your own posts. Pretty sure we had a problem like that on the old server if I remember right..
And I don't really like that people have the ability to delete their own posts on a forum that were made ages ago for some strange reason, You should stand by what you write.

No I don't think so.. Because when you edit your post, there is a notice like "edited on blabla date". But when you remove your topic or message, only forum admins know it. For that reason I still suggest to keep current options for forum members.
-
Allowing players to delete their own posts and replies isn't a good thing imo.

No. Edit and quote actions are enough for regular forum users.
Grandpa is that you? I'm sure one or two new features won't confuse you too much.
To people who only answers no: You might wanna explain why because you're is the forum section where the community is trying to improve our experience.
+1 for me because I can't think of any reason not to do so
-
+1 one often makes mistakes that you realize only after you posted anything.
I agree. +1
You can make a person look dumb just by editing a post so having the ability to delete a post won't do any harm. Why is everyone so pessimistic anyway?

SMF doesn't really have in-depth options that let's you control all of this, it just toggles between the ability to delete posts. Since we can't really set any limits to it, I don't think it's a good idea to add this ability. Also, the same can pretty much be done by editing a post, and then people can at least see there used to be something there, and we don't end up with gaps everywhere.
