    How about the ability for users to delete their own posts?

    This could also affect their own created thread. Deleting their first entry to their thread would delete the entire topic. Could save the mods work so they don't have to go deleting or locking things that ppl want to get rid of.

    Like they post a question but find the answer pretty quickly and want their topic deleted.

    Or someone double or triple posted multiple times and they want to get rid of those posts for some reason?

    Or when ppl edit their post and find out they posted in the wrong section....

    Who knows what else...

    Maybe a button next to the Edit, Quote, Report function. Have a "delete" button. Or maybe when you EDIT, you can have a box "check to delete your post".

    good, bad? :blink:

    IPB has a delete feature, though you can only delete your last post until someone else posts.
    Therefor if you make a topic, someone else posts, you can no longer delete your first post.
    Although deleting the first post in your new topic does delete the topic all together.
    I really dont think its needed, i think its fine the way it is.

    Multi-Quote will be a feature at GR v2.
    How do i know? Well because it has already been said that GR v2 will be using IPB v2.0.4 software, which does support the multi-quote feature ;)

    It could also be a problem for people "trying to save their own ass" if they've ripped something or tried to sell something that wasn't theirs. If someone found it was a rip/stolen thing they could delete the thread to remove any proof/evidence.
