Bring back the "delete" button?

Sorry about that. ^^; People have a tendency to slip posts in while I'm posting, then I have to go back and put the quote in. I'll get rid of it(have I been excessive about this?)

Usually, addressing the name of the person you're talking to catches their attention to know you're replying to them. I'm just asking this because lately many people keep doing that all the time.

Okay, it looks like none of you guys are talking about what I am trying to talk about. I am going use my forum as an example:

http://img7.echo.cx/img7/7305/untitled2qq.png

see the circle? That button is what I am talking about. I don't care if it's last post or first post or whatever, I just want the button back.

In my opinion... not having the 'delete' button, also helps to catch people being spammy, doing things they SHOULDN'T and then having the chance to 'erase it' when they regret it. I can see the bother of double posting. But the lack of the button helps to catch up some people that aren't behaving.

Whaaat? So people that realize their mistakes and change their mind and want to make it right before updetting anybody still deserve to be caught and punished?

If people regret their actions and undo them before causing harm, then they're not even being spammy. How can it be considered misbehaving if the indeiscretion is cancelled out before it takes effect?

Yea I have to agree with Raijin after all I think its fair to have the delete button with the same way like the old fourm where once you post you can delete it but if some one replys then you cant delete it. I see no harm with this. Another thing is that a problem can start if for example some one were to post somthing stupid like spam and realised he just did somthing stupid so he wanted to get rid of the post before a problem starts. Now the problem would be solved if the post was deleted imediatly. If it was not deleted then people would start falming him for that and stuff and that would start a scene that would not be needed. Now of course its his fault for posting that but a mistake fixed is sure as hell better than a problem starting. Just wanting to catch the person even though he broke a rule is ok and all but it would be to late because people would have already scene the post he made. Think of it like this deleting a rule braking post before people see it is a good way to prevent a problem from starting and you would not need to care to find the person because you would not know or if you did see the post before it was deleted warn him on PM so no one would notice the post was there and deleted. Fourms no matter what you do will never be perfect. Take the NO RPG topic thats stickyed yet people still make threads about it. Theres always gona be a spammer some where whos gona start fights and stuff but at least with the delete button after you posted somthing it would prevent somthing from starting would you agree?

Well a flame war is not really nessesary >_>. I mean the point is that it prevents to many problems from starting. The Admins or Mods of thos sections could jsut handel it them selves but instead more people just post over and over again insulting him/she's intelegnce or somthing. Who cares if you dont know if it happens or not the important thing is that there is at least some sort of peace on the fourm without having people reply and stuff makign fights.

That's the problem though it's 'impossible' to not see it in this forum during the busiest hours. So the 'no harm no foul' doesn't work that well to its fullest.

In any case, it's ultimatedly up to the admins if they want/have the time to re-add it or not.

Wow, a war over a delete button.

In any case, IF Ryo wants the delete button back, Nobi will put it in. But at the current, he's busy.
However, a feature like that like Planty said, can be abused too much. It's a large forum, you might just have to tolerate it, and if you want something deleted, just pm one of the admin. We're not going to bite you, and it honestly makes our lives easier without the delete button.
