[QUOTE="bangla, post: 93056, member: 20745"] it's a very good option we enjoy in this forum - if you make a mistake, you can delete yr post by yrself (i have not seen this great thing in any other forum that i am a member to). but, there is also one drawback to it (sometimes) – when a post is deleted, the following posts are gone too. So, we all have to be careful whether this fine feature infringes other's right to view / post. for example, just the other day, i saw a post in the wrong section. i softly notified the person of the mistake + i submitted an alternative link for that program. in response, the person simply deleted the thread and posted a new one at the correct section – not even caring to send a courtesy pm to me. if you do something wrong and yr post gets deleted, crews of this forum always inform you of this cause. But, this person deleted my post due to his/her mistake. this not only has infringed my right, it affected other’s right too – as I gave an alternative link in that post. I do not know, if anyone has similar experience, but i was embarrassed. similar problem can happen in editing. If you post something and others reply to it. It should be fixed that way. else, in case of argument / discussion, if you edit the original post, the replies can as well be obsolete. all this editing / deleting depends upon a member and his/her attitude – we should always expect the best from anyone. yet, options like this can lead to such infringement and abuse. so, i would suggest 3 things (just ideas, there can be technical difficulties) : 1. we should be courteous and be aware of other’s rights. If this point is properly followed the next 2 suggestions do not need to be mentioned. 2. posts / thread can’t be deleted (i mean, by members not mods), after a reply is posted. 3. likewise, a post can’t be edited after a reply is posted.
