Go make it 2/3 or higher. Or let only regulars vote on it. Just because you say there are glaring downsides, it works out in society every second. I can see why you want to keep all the power like this.
Seems like you and @future are really the only ones that don’t want this feature re-enabled out of all of us.
2 people with unlimited edit abilities. Either way I don’t care cause I’m like you with unlimited abilities to change my posts as well as others, but I feel like everyone should be able to delete anything they want. And if you need someone to fix this site if broken. @qma seemed to volunteer.
Lastly, when was the last time one of Columbo threads been brought up. Or the steve threads. Usually when a thread disappears off the front page. It’s rare it gets reposted on. This don’t seem like a website problem as much as a control problem.
What about just electing some new mods? resigning some of the mods that don’t/haven’t had the time to devote to the forum, and replace them with others that are more active? I’m sure that there are a couple of moderators that don’t have the time to devote like they used that could be replaced (by qma for example)…
Sir you know damn well that no one wants to make clay delta 8, @sidco said we shouldn’t be disingenuous. No one cares about steeve either now that he isn’t here posting. But i do got a bunch of people whom call me about broken links and old techniques every other day.
You’d know he posted quite a bit more than that… If he hadn’t deleted all the posts and you were able to search them. But once all the posts are deleted it’s much easier to construct whatever narrative fits, right?
Colombo was a bad guy, he ripped off a lot of people, then he covered his tracks by erasing all his posts here.
That’s what we are trying to avoid repeating.
If it was easier to selectively allow TL3’s to edit I think @sidco would be more inclined to allow it. However, the forum software only allows differentiation between TL1 and then everything above that
You could go file a support ticket at meta.discourse.org, add it to their list of support tickets about the same issue, request the ability to differentiate between TL2 and TL3 as it pertains to “time to edit”
do you know what it was changed to? are his posts still here? as no one should have rights to fully delete… the posts should still be on the site with a pencil?
Ya once you have his handle its much easier to find his posts. If I remember correctly, he was in the middle of scrubbing posts when the feature was changed.
