[split] My Posts are locked - wavic - Sep-27-2016
My English isn't good so I've made some edition in my last post here. A few times. The last one I wanted to do was to change a word which was wrong by meaning. The forum refused to do that. More then 10 minutes later the situation didn't change. But I don't mind. It's my fault.

That is a preventative action to stop students from posting a question and receiving an answer, then editing their posts to remove the question and all information. Which happens quite a bit actually.

Can that be limited to users below xx posts maybe?
RE: [split] My Posts are locked - metulburr - Sep-27-2016
It is currently. Once a user gets 1000 posts they get automatically moved into a privileged user group, which allows editing of posts, changing their own user titles, etc.

Ok so i modified the user groups to the following

Privileged User: allowed signatures, can edit posts freely, cannot delete posts
If you can edit a post to nothing, isn't it more or less the same as deleting it?
It is not uncommon to see a user having an MDD crisis attempt to erase everything. It s/he is a big contributor the forum may suffer a bit. If s/he is a mod or admin it may be even worse :)
IMHO only the admins should be able to alter posts after a few days (and they should be tested for mental health :))

Ok so now its 50+ posts have 24 hours to make edits. whereas <50 posts have 10 minutes. And no one cannot delete posts except for mods and admins.
If a mod or admin went crazy and started deleting posts, then that person would no longer be an admin/mod. If it was an accident, there is an undo option that admins can resinstate any post/thread deleted.

Thanks, that's more sane than the 1000 posts limit which hardly anyone will ever reach
RE: [split] My Posts are locked - metulburr - Oct-05-2016
Since a new feature to log post edits...users with 5+ posts are allowed to edit their posts.
