Auto Delete/Prune Board

<< < (2/3) > >>

Arantor:
It makes sense, but what you could actually do is what's done here. There is a test board here, IIRC no attachments are allowed, but members can delete anyone's post from there. Since anyone can delete posts, it is not long before it takes care of itself...

Texan78:
LoL, I kind of like that idea, if enough people actually visit the board there it would self moderate itself. Still would be nice to have some kind of default method in place otherwise.

Arantor:
Well, this very forum is proof that it works ;)

Might be worth giving it a go, and if it doesn't work out I'll figure out how to change the mod I wrote years ago to not have that same restriction.

Texan78:
Well right now the forum isn't "Officially" launched since I am doing some last minute testing and tweaking and I haven't advertised it so I don't have any members at the moment. I plan to launch it next weekend. So it would be slow at first for post to get deleted. That's why I was hoping there was something that could handle that. That one mod would be perfect if it didn't look for new posts and just deleted them regardless after X number of days. Then once it got going members could delete posts and the mod could handle what was left over.

Arantor:
Well, that mod was not written for your intended use, but it should be possible to change (though I suspect it will make it hard to uninstall later), but I don't have time to figure it out right now.
