+Warwagon MVC Posted July 17, 2014 MVC Share Posted July 17, 2014 I know this year subscribers no longer have the ability to edit their posts forever. I was wondering, however if maybe it would be possible to give the ability to edit just the 1st post of threads the subscribers has created as well as the title of the thread. I could care less about editing posts I created. But the 1st posts of thread's I created as well as the title would be nice. That would also limited the amount of "Damage" a member could do which got us in this situation to begin with. Plus this would also reduce the burden on the mods.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted July 17, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted July 17, 2014 i think it's an all or nothing thing. i don't think there is a way to specify it like that on IPB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted July 18, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 18, 2014 What you're requesting was the whole reason it was disabled, because a couple of members actually blanked out popular posts over a few days. I'd love to allow it, but not when it gets abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanx Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I could care less about editing posts I created... Just because of this, the wish should not be granted :rofl: ZakO, Shaun N. and Raa 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Maybe it could be changed so that you can only edit 1 post per hour, and maybe x amount of posts per day. Any shenanigans could be easily spotted then, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted July 18, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 18, 2014 We have an idea we're working on, more info later, but it will be for subscribers.. FiB3R 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skiver Veteran Posted July 18, 2014 Veteran Share Posted July 18, 2014 FTFY ;) I have to admit, I didn't actually make it, I just stole it from google images and liked the fact it made very little sense.

MikeChipshop Member Posted July 18, 2014 Member Share Posted July 18, 2014 I could care less about editing posts... I bet you could... On a more serious note, i can see this being abused somewhat. Maybe for subscribers who've got a certain reputation or a blemish free record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately even that doesn't work when you consider an ex-staff member did it too (in the Veteran group, although not anymore) :P There are other ways to failsafe it, but it requires a bit of work.

Good stuff mate, I'm sure you've got a good plan ready and waiting. In my forum we had a secondary group for people we felt could be trusted to wield the POOOWWEERRRR. But not a particularly elegant solution. Steven P. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
