View Full Version : Allow Users To 'Hard Delete' User Comments.

It occured to me after looking at my user profile and toying with making a CSS style sheet to it that over time, a user can get too many user comments.
If you attempt to delete a user comment, you only have the option to "Soft Delete" it, which means it still is visible and takes up room.
It would be beneficial to allow users to hard delete comments in their profiles.

Spectral won't like this... (:p)
But yeah, I agree, it can be pretty annoying when someone posts some shit in there, and you can't scrub it.
Sorry, only Super Duper Mods or higher can hard delete things. Also, it's NOT a good idea to allow anyone to hard delete things. Even Mods can't do it :(.

I don't see why letting a user hard delete user comments would be that big of a deal.

Within the context of user comments, how so?
There's quite a bit of drivel in mine I'd certainly like to delete.

It's there own profile afterall, and they have the option of making all of them go away; so why not give the option to get rid of only the ones you don't want?

Jesus H. Christ, you've said something I agree with.
Giving a user complete control over their profile page seem quite reasonable.

Seriously, it's YOUR profile. Lol. but anyone who actually gives a shit is a tool.
There's no option for this in the admincp. It'd have to be a hack and I really don't think this one merits writing... Yeah, it's annoying, but it's something you'll have to deal with.
Sorry guys
^See, I TOLD YA.
Just get used to it guys.
It can't be NEARLY as annoying as when moderators have to clean up a spam attack and see 30 soft-deleted threads...
If you have a LOT of soft-deleted comments that need to be removed (like if your profile got spammed), let a supermod or admin know and we'll clean it up.

Anybody can see it's not because zok's too lazy. It's because the effort is not justified.
Closing moot discussion now.
