Turn off users ability to delete entire threads!

[varenne]

Recently, as in this year, I took the time to reply to a modder's post of both a recombined mod and request for feedback/input, especially since the OP posted a question as to why no one was providing any feedback.

So I took the time and reviewed the mod and provided a detailed post, only to have the entire thread later deleted by the original poster and modder.

When questioned as to why the thread was deleted (by the OP) the response was along the lines of "a new version was posted". Based on my having read this modder's posts (yes, I actually read all of them), I don't feel that was the actual reason.

This IMO is not the way to evolve mods; deleting threads that member users have taken the time to replay to. Most sites mark them as obsolete or deprecated, and point them to the new link, turning off the old links. They do so as they have come to realize that once knowledge is created it is an asset and needs to be preserved.

Needless to say I am much less inclined to provide that particular modder with reviews and feedback, ever.

My specific request is to turn off the ability for users to delete entire threads they started, or alternately give the site admins the ability to revive said threads.

Second, it should be clearly stated in the site usage policy that once something is posted to this site, it becomes the 'intellectual property' of the site and only under specific requests to the site owner can entire threads be deleted. I believe this is now even more justified in the recent childish behavior (read less than adult) we have seen over avatar and signature pics.

I agree it's silly to take the thread down, however I don't see why they shouldn't be able to.

That said, it'd make more sense to edit the OP/title, I admit.

[The Mad God]

I'm in support mainly because I absolutely hate it when I clink on a link to a thread only to find out that it doesn't exist anymore.

[Triratna]

Well, As a modder. I had to delete my entire thread down if i'm going to get banned at anytime. As the only children modder down here on loverslab i always had many issue regarding x.117 race developments ever since i got here. I deleted all my threads before and i will definitely do it again on a heartbeat if 'Children Annuad' gets severely threaten or locked by some unproductive assholes.

It wasn't funny to contribute mods, While there is a huge [PERMANENT banned 50%] on your username.. Good thing things works very differently this year, i can't deny the tolerances & supports that i had so far despite two years of my defiance and still granted a privilege recently.

Just support your community modder or contributors and follow their terms, all we want down here is to share our mod & universally accepted to keep loverslab forum exist, Whatever our individual Ideals and goals might be.

I deleted my [supermutant....orc] thread recently. Because i had too, it conflicts with my other mod series so i had to liquidize the asset to rebuilt or merge it at my discretion. The lasting we want is old mod Prototypes messing around in your game while we provides the stable ones.

[Ark of Truth]

Yeah I have to admit this would be good to stop considering what has been happening recently.

[Guest GingerTom]

I disagree--why would a modder put anything up if they can't ever take it down again? For whatever reason--considering that mods can take it down.

It's a two-way street--or no street at all.

[Jerbsinator]

This should be implemented but still give the modder the option to just delete all of their posts in that thread. Even with no links it could still be helpful to someone searching around.

[Guest GingerTom]

Agreed.

[Guest Loogie]

Modders also have the ability to remove old files while keeping the thread intact - happens all the time in the Sexout section.

[GSBmodders]

Sometimes a mod becomes obsolete and rather deal with those who refuse to read the opening post where it states that it is obsolete get it from this other mod, it is simply easier to delete the thread.

um call me stupid but what part of YOUR children mod violates any of the rules Ive read through the thread and from what i can see making kids into fully functioning npc's in no way violates ANY of the rules so why would anyone give you problems about it?

(if its because your mod+lovers=child porn to some then lovers+oblivion=child porn beacuse ANY elf race thats less than 200 years old is considered a child) the only people i could see being that anal about it would be mods from the nexus

[Triratna]

yeah, xlover+oblivion. last year everyone down here was very concern about it - My initial development thread was locked. So i know what moderator are capable to deal with the "xlovers+oblivion+x.117" issue.

The initial dev thread was about hairless skin and an anatomically shota body set body. i could describe the whole detail but it'll only asking for punch up with the guy upstairs. The children annuad itself contain everything that was previously denied and restricted by rule#3 TOS since last year.

Should the mod get denied like it's prototype, i have no more purpose to stick around here and i WILL remove all my threads - and return to my gardening hobby. Because i grew a helluva bok choies.

BOK CHOY

Seriously.

Modders should retain complete control over their work, at any time.

If they wish to pull the plug, for any reason that belongs to them, they should be able to do so at any time. This would include the right not to see their work republished afterwards by someone else, under a different denomination (provided the mod was 100% their work to start with, of course). Ideally, there would be a single "Bye" button somewhere, removing/invalidating all the content posted under their name.

However, I don't think anyone should be able to delete whole threads, not even moderators. Exception could be made perhaps for those nonsensical 1 post ad-bots that spam the forums with their peen-enlarging stuff.

Why no thread deletion ? Often times, there are comments on the thread that still could be useful to other users over time. In a sense, these comments do not belong to the user that started the thread, modder or not. Therefore, there should be no right to delete them, like it happened for Lovers PK AIO, for example.

I could maybe see thread deletion working in some specific situations, where we had forums with the only purpose to allow modders to publish their work, their updates, their documentation, and other forums that would allow users to comment the releases.

Many sites that I contributed to in the past used to have an archive forum for the purpose of moderating, and "deleting" whole threads, remaining either read-me but visible to users, or completely hidden. They also had periodical backups of the forums, to restore them if needed (in case of crashes, for example), but that probably would beyond the scope of this thread.

Finally, it's not making insult to anyone asking for some maturity when posting, editing or removing stuff. Given some recent events, I don't feel the need to expand upon that.

Just my 2 Sarsaparilla caps

Kudos!

Well to pop in my two cents I agree with those that would take the power away from the thread maker to delete the thread.

The mod maker should still have the power to remove any links but not delete the thread. The reason I feel this way has already been mentioned by a previous poster in that there often is a wealth of knowledge in those threads that suddenly is lost. I think that the thread should just be moved to an archive area for dead mods so that information is still accessible.

Those were my thoughts.
