RoomScape Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 http://osbot.org/forum/topic/59263-important-forum-cleanup/ I look through my threads to find stuff as well as those created by others. Deleting it will remove that information and it's just generally annoying. If you want to stop gravedigging, lock the thread...don't delete it from view. Now if I'm looking for something I or someone else posted in an old thread, I have to ask a mod to look it up for me and they possibly have no idea what I'm talking about and I can now not find what I'm looking for? Seriously? That is just annoying and honestly pointless... 3
RedneffOxes Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 it'll be better if we got rid of the spam that you make constantly.
Extreme Scripts Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 The threads aren't deleted they are just hidden, the general assumption is if no one posts In The thread > 1 month it's dead and there is no use for it anymore. 1
Realist Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 i agree lol, first they kill the bot client now the forum too
Kittens Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 The threads aren't deleted they are just hidden, the general assumption is if no one posts In The thread > 1 month it's dead and there is no use for it anymore. I'm getting notifications saying that you're deleting my threads lol pretty sure you're not hiding/archiving m8. It's like roomscape said you shouldnt delete it mate
Eliot Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I agree, it's absurd to hide old threads for no reason. I'll talk to @Maldesto and look into reversing this.
Realist Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 such a waste of a mod's time as well just ruining the forums
Administrator Maldesto Posted August 23, 2014 Administrator Posted August 23, 2014 I agree, it's absurd to hide old threads for no reason. I'll talk to @Maldesto and look into reversing this. We aren't going to be hiding them, we can lock them. People like to view old threads for various reasons. 3
Ericthecmh Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I'm getting notifications saying that you're deleting my threads lol pretty sure you're not hiding/archiving m8. It's like roomscape said you shouldnt delete it mate Not true. You can hide a thread (most users don't see, but mods and admins do) You can delete a thread (nobody sees it anymore), but the thread is still stored in a special place. You can permanently delete a thread after it's been "deleted" When you get that notification, it's like deleting something into the Recycle Bin on Windows. It's not really deleted, just moved somewhere hidden.
Administrator Maldesto Posted August 23, 2014 Administrator Posted August 23, 2014 Verified, please don't make assumptions bringing your "lol" in here without knowing facts. You are 100% wrong, "delete" means "hidden". 1
Eliot Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 It doesn't matter if they're deleted or hidden either way the community can't view them. We won't be hiding them anymore. Sorry about that. We're going to undo whatever was recently hidden. 1
Administrator Maldesto Posted August 23, 2014 Administrator Posted August 23, 2014 Divinity did it for the good of the community, he was just trying to clean up. Not trying to cause problems guys, relax a bit. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. 2
