    Default Thread Deletion

    Hey guys,

    Just a bit of an FYI. There's been a few outbursts lately about threads being deleted, but since some of you have obviously missed the other times we've explained why, we just wanted to let you all know that when someone is permanently banned from the site, all their posts, and thus entire threads that they created, are automatically deleted. This is an inbuilt function of the bulletin board system that we use. It is not the mods trying to censor the drama, it is an automatic side-effect of banning a troublesome poster. And since many of the drama threads are started by members who end up getting banned, many of these threads are deleted by the system.

    The reason this system is in place is because the majority of the people who get perma-banned from this site are trolls. If we have a troll attack and have 50 trolls come in and spam stupid shit in 200 different threads, we can deal with it much quicker by banning them and having their posts automatically deleted, rather than banning them and then spending ages trying to find and manually delete every single one of their posts. Unfortunately this also means that when a long term user is perma-banned, all of their posts and threads will be deleted too.

    Hope this has cleared some things up for you all!

    OK, so then how comes kat is perma banned and yet all of her posts (including all the threads she started) are still viewable?

    That obviously goes to show that even when a member is perma-banned there are ways to still keep their threads active.

    ...Darcy and Rhiannon, i'd like to ask when members request their account to be deleted (particularly for privacy reasons) why is the banned function not used (in order to delete all posts) instead of account deletion which keeps posts (as i understand it)? I might be misunderstanding other reasons, maybe ya'll are doing it already, but just curious.

    Could you please elaborate?

    Kat was banned right? So how comes her threads stay but yet everybody else's gets deleted.

    It's a fair question. You brought the issue up.

    We only know how it works when we do it. Whatever Pryce did with Kat wasn't a perma ban, or was different than what happens when we do it.

    When someone is perma-banned, we have a security system in place that will prevent them from ever making an account here again. If they do make another account, they will be blocked from posting. Many of the people who request account deletion due to privacy return under new identities - if they were perma-banned, they would be unable to do that.

    Ok thanks for clarifying Lena.

    Still it seems that there is a way to ban a member without erasing the threads they have started.

    Not in a way that they can't just re-register and keep spamming. I think.

    This doesn't make no sense at all !!

    Why can we still see Katrine's posts when all the so very very valuable posts of Bridgette is gone ?? That woman know her business and she was more than willing to share !!!

    Is it a big secret that blackbarbie is banned ?? Just deleting her posts isn't making the issue go away !! Because members of the board is asking questions. Making the drama go on and on ...

    Bridgette asked for her posts to be deleted.

    Katrine is not perma banned.

    Bridgette asked to be perma banned because she didn't want SW to "have" all of her old contributions.

    Because despite whatever happened at the end she was still a respected long-standing member of this community and thus she was given the permanent ban that she asked for.

    So an original post and our replies/contributions are controlled by the OP if they ask for their posts to be deleted. (IOW a case of 'I'm taking my marbles and am going home. And I'm taking your marbles too.')

    Sounds like a system-wide feature is needed to allow others' posts to remain in the case of the OP pulling out.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    Sp what if you changed your mind and requested that the permaban was lifted...can the posts and threads come back, or are they gone forever?
