Moving up the Mental Health Hub
Mr Keshy:
Thought I might throw it in here instead of creating a new thread. But in the Support hub, I noticed that you can't edit or delete posts.
I was thinking that perhaps you should be allowed to remove your own posts. For example, what if you regretted posting what you typed and would like it removed right away?
Just a thought :) Actually, on that topic, what was the purpose of disabling all editing and removal of posts in the first place? Curious, that's all.
Russ:
The anonymization process deidentifies your post from your account and thus you can't edit/delete posts because the system isn't tracking who made them

I'm not sure if we "programmed" it to be like that, so, that might be the reason. Maybe the board can't differentiate between different annoymous posts. I know other forums are set up so they can do this (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=659), you have anonymous #1, anonymous #2, etc.
That said, most of our modifications are now made by a professional coder, shouldn't be too hard to chuck on the list of our priorities.

We disabled the ability to remove your own posts because of a few selfish people who would make huge question threads that could have been useful to other members, and then delete them (maybe because they were SAC questions? or something).
Editing is disabled because when you edit, it comes up with << Last edited by [yourname] >> on the bottom, which defeats the purpose of anonymisation.
Mr Keshy:
Thanks for the clarifications :)
