Bring back the option for Ub3r members to delete/hide their threads

Although I'd like this feature to come back, it won't. I would however, like the option to edit a thread at any point. No time limits. Sure you can do edit limits but for the most part, i've posted shit in the past that at the time I thought was harmless but after a few years I realized could very easily identify me IRL. I asked Omni to remove it, and he did. So I can see how editing is allowed but I highly doubt deleting will be allowed back.

I really don't understand what what some of you mean with that it was "abused".

The only place I can understand it being abused would be the market section, which I already mentioned I would be totally ok with as an exception as it's not meant to be a discussion forum. (Hell, make it a separate plugin for all I care, might as well with the whole market system already in place.)

Again, hiding/soft deleting a thread from public view wouldn't necessarily remove it from the database and would still allow admins to see it.

I'd say most all forums use that system to keep track of a conversation going off the rails.

Next best thing if you want to get your account closed. Never do that.

It was a blast being on staff. I stepped down as it's time for me to move on. I wish you all the best and if you were hit by my warnings and/or bans, it was nothing personal.

Peace out!
