Recycle Bin

[WhiteX]

Is there a way to keep deleted threads for a set time on another location like the Windows recycle bin?
I mean it because just 2 min ago i was talking to that Blacklord dude the thread got deleted before i got the chance to explain some misunderstanding, is there a way to keep this kind of thread, ones that got answers, for a set time, even for the sake of evidence on those "he said, she said" thingies?

 

[Blacklord]

sadly no. I have the authority to delete my own treads.

It's certainly possible - a mod of that section/admin can view and undelete user deleted posts if deemed neccessary.

Mods already have this capacity in some regards - ie a place where rom requests are dumped to be laughed at by all

That's what's great about a PM system
You could have just sent a private message to each other if you two wanted to keep that pointless thread topic and conversation going between yourself

Hmm isn't that against the net privacy rules?

Nope. It's like saving a webpage to your computer and then the page is deleted for some reason. It is deleted from the net but you still have it on your PC.

Umm, anything posted on a public messageboard is public domain.

 

[Blacklord]

I guess ur right...
But then for what good is the delete thread tool?

 

[PsyMan]

To delete stuff that shouldn't be posted maybe?

Wow @ Blacklord.... just wow.

yeah, no one should be forced to read all my crap.
thx, if the mods have the capacity to view deleted threads it is ok, any misunderstandings can be worked out with the help of a mod.

If you want to close it, my question has been successfully answered.

Indeed, I saw blacklords post, and to answer your question to me, I had an ENIAC;D
